People\u2019s Forum<\/em>,<\/strong> Farida Sedoc\u2019s first solo exhibition, explores the conditions for art as livelihood and as a vehicle for change. Sedoc starts from her own precarious experience as an artist to address new forms of collectivity. Amplifying past and current voices of diasporic and transnational communities, the exhibition reports on resistance and civil disobedience, and suggests tools for emancipation. The punk, reggae, and hip-hop aesthetics in her visual imagery contrast the visual language of mainstream media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In People\u2019s Forum<\/em>, repurposing this visual research material echoes the spirit of the 80s and proposes alternative realities of the present. This not only forms the basis for addressing many urgent topics in the exhibition and in society today but also speaks about global power structures in relation to people\u2019s social, cultural, and economic positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to a series of new works by Sedoc, People\u2019s Forum<\/em> will bring together a program offering alternative and accessible forms of artistic production and autonomy: an art market, how-to workshops, and an office-in-residence of <\/em>Platform BK.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Office-in-residence:
Platform BK offers insights into their work as an advocacy organisation for artists and cultural workers, aiming to mobilise independent art workers, encouraging self-organisation and solidarity for a better art climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
