Looking back to look forward. This is a visual summary of our stay at @puntwg and in particular its closing ceremony.
Done in order to not forget Palestine and the many bonds it formed and the marks it left on how we make and come together ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ.

When it comes to exhibitions I find there are two approaches to documentation. Thereโ€™s the Contemporary Art Daily route - objects in rooms completely devoid of people. and thereโ€™s the opening shots - glasses of wine in hand, familiar faces, friends, family, all catching up, nobody talking about the works, everybody happy to be there. I mean, you had to be there! So, how to summarise where we were for one week when we made AFTERMATH? Us in this case being (@eirini_imin, @elektra_ta, @babbelbel, @freja_noehr, and myself, and for the closing ceremony @sajaamr, @masssamama, @commongroun.d, and @wassila_ )? How to summarise what we made when what we made was more a space, than a show, a carving out and an attempt at a temporary autonomous zone? Itโ€™s already been more than a month!

What follows is both CAD shots, courtesy of the @puntwg photographer (Studio Plancius), and attempts at capturing what it was really like while being in it - an overlap and interweave of thoughts and works and being together. 
One of the clear highlights of this year that has opened my appetite for working together. 

To many more similar overlaps and interweaves in the years to come! Either together or apart! :) 
Thank you! 

Also to @ninaharra, @smarirobertsson for hosting us, of course. taken in puntWG by @babbelbel

Resistance is not stillness. It is not polite. It is movement, fracture, insistenceโ€”a living language spoken through bodies, wrestling.โฃ
โฃ
Coming into the Aftermath, we ask you not to view each work as isolated, but to see them togetherโ€”and to see yourself within them.โฃ
โฃ
We gesture toward making, writing, and thinking together. Toward dialogueโ€”behind the scenes and under the glare of the spotlight. Weโ€™re not interested in art detached from context, too absorbed in aesthetics to engage politics, too afraid to face our tears, fears, desires, and anger. That feels untruthful, and dull.โฃ
โฃ
This work arises in the aftermath of two years of protest against genocide in Palestine: shaped by grief and defiance, urgency and resistance, reckoning with mediated violence.โฃ
โฃ
The exhibition is not neutral ground. It is contested, aliveโ€”a site of struggle. We reject the passivity of display and claim space as unstable, insurgent, alive. Scenographic. Sonic. Archival. Collaborative. Not categories but toolsโ€”ways of holding each other accountable.โฃ
โฃ
Within the exhibition, we resist finality. We refuse to conclude. We ask for risk, rage, joy, togetherness, and regeneration.โฃ
