Exhibition 'Apa kabar? What's new?
March 29 2019 - May 26 2019
Concept, curating, production

The exhibition Apa kabar? What's new? explored the relationship and tensions between mainstream culture and local remixes.

I selected artists and DJs whose practices establish exchanges between mainstream culture and local contexts. They mix recognisable images from online media with personal visual languages or subtly respond to dominant cultures. In doing so, they often draw inspiration from their multilayered cultural identity. As such, the exhibition connects themes such as online culture, mestizo cultures, global citizenship and cultural ownership.

As part of the exhibition, I programmed three events:
- Opening with performance of Adison dos Reis
- Motel Mozaique collaboration with Ilana van den Berg & Eva Verboon
- Art installation and performance of Caetano at Poppositions (Brussels)
