Join us in Rotterdam this Sunday at 15:00 at ZOHO! 💫 for new Radicalism! Here is more about the festival... Moving away from a traditional top-down hierarchical role of the ‘Curator’, New Radicalism welcomes four (diaspora) curators closely engaged in the main cultural spheres of the MENA Region (Maghreb, Gulf and Levant) to shape the exhibition. With their varied professional backgrounds, by their role as artists, writers and game changers, the curators play an interesting role in the cultural field. With our powers combined we manifest, even if it’s just for four days, a communal creative space where MENA artists and artworks exist respectfully alongside and in relation to each other. Moving to a MENA imaginary that exists beyond man-made borders. (at MONO) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PE-UcBtJW/?igshid=19km2ugolmkkw
