"[They] had taken the initiative upon themselves and therefore, without knowing or even noticing it, had begun to create that public space between themselves where freedom could appear." – Hannah Arendt

The entire programme will feature over 20 international artists, including Siah ARMAJANI, Bracha L. ETTINGER, Lili DUJOURIE, Peter KENNARD, Vivienne KOORLAND, Everlyn NICODEMUS, Marinella SENATORE, Lerato SHADI and more.
