Routes of resistance

Artists, curators, writers and activists have long resisted centres that wield dominant power, choosing instead to place their work and lived experiences at the centre. Inspired by these ways of working we have created a modular exhibition, encompassing practices ranging from Mexico, South Africa, Uganda and Sweden. Together these iterations question the notion of freedom as it relates to creative practice.

The exhibition creates collective narratives that honour diversity and foster mutual respect, all the while recognizing that we seek freedom of expression, freedom of movement, freedom of creativity. This collective seeks to pay homage to our different contexts, divergent paths, diverse methodologies, and multiple languages. Together we expand the notion of freedom beyond the “international human rights” definitions and into meaningful creative responses.
