THE VISIBILITY OF THE INVISIBLE
Exhibition

The COVID-19 pandemic has redefined public space. Many citizens disappeared from public space, and in the meantime this space was also abused by the right-wing mob. On the other hand, by regulating the use of public space, the state has left the left people to themselves, to their traumatic past, their precarious present and their self-isolation. Many are made invisible. We will deal with these issues, in the center and on the periphery of the city.
