Imagining and capturing resistance
A sea of pink pussy hats and protest signs. Worldwide, people protested the inauguration of President Donald Trump: the Women's March.

During this program we will look at the activist as creative maker and address the importance of imagination, representation, and the capturing and archiving of protest.

We will engage in conversation with a few makers, reflecting on their work and how they relate to the contemporary political climate. How can we organise ourselves in a meaningful, inclusive and effective way to enact resistance?

Met pussyhats en originele protestborden de straat op. In reactie op de inauguration van President Donald Trump, is er wereldwijd protest: de Women’s March.

Tijdens dit programma bekijken we de activist als creatieve maker en gaan we in op het belang van de verbeelding, het vastleggen en het archiveren van protest.

Daarnaast gaan we met een aantal makers in gesprek over hun werk en hoe zij zich verhouden tot het huidige politieke klimaat. Hoe kunnen we ons op een betekenisvolle, inclusieve en effectieve manier organiseren om tot verzet te komen?
