When artistic practice engages with social realities, it reveals its particular strength: it is always both a part of the present day and a utopian force that reaches into the sphere of the imaginable.
In times of deepening inequality, narrow discourses and authoritarian attacks on democratic achievements, there is a need for spaces in which counterstrategies can be developed and tested, affects negotiated, and complex perspectives made visible. Art creates spaces of resonance for practices of resistance, repair, and reworlding, in order to challenge dominant narratives and foreground personal ideas of belonging and the future.
