Exhibition and mediation project on art and activism

India Unfiltered was exhibited in the form of a documentary video.

The physical part of the OnCurating Project Space is closed until further notice in light of the current pandemic situation, as we would like to keep a safe and healthy environment for our visitors. However our online platforms and projects will still be active, so stay tuned!

Exhibitions are seen as spatial experiences, yet the encounters with people, art, and its discourse are as important as the spatial formation. Especially in today’s states of emergencies – with a current pandemic virus limiting our social contacts, and moreover with the ecological catastrophe ahead and regressive nationalistic and identitarian movements wordwide – new forms of meaningful connectivity and discussions with a wide range of participants internationaly are needed.

The exhibition assembles the politically engaged practices of artists and practices of activists, whose work is directly concerned with taking up political positions and engaging in interventions, ground work and various forms of activism. The exhibition aims to become a contact zone where different publics are invited to actively negotiate what has to be done, and in what way.

The project will take place at the OnCurating Space and elsewhere in March 2020, and will include an extensive event programme with various encounters, series of talks, lectures and discussions as way of examining these intersectionalities and sharing an expanded public space.
