During this workshop, you will be challenged to create a photo inspired by the exhibition of artist Jonathas de Andrade. De Andrade collaborated with a community of deaf-mute people in rural Brazil. Deprived of the resources to learn the official sign language, they communicate in a self-taught system of gestural signs. Just like in the exhibition, we invite you to participate in a day of games and storytelling. Use body language and expression to portray your word or saying in the style of the exhibition. Your best image will be printed to take home.

Power of Art – Group Exibition

Art can bring time to a halt for a moment and allow us to reflect on the world in which we live. The works in the exhibition Power of Art illustrate a diversity of propositions in regard to this tendency of art. Sometimes an artist’s position directly highlights the phenomena of contemporary life. For instance, Tasio Bidegain and Daniëlle van Ark responded in their work to the recent pandemic that upended our lives. Themes relevant to our times, such as sustainability and climate change, are – directly or indirectly – a point of departure for Krištof Kintera, Christina Lucas and Abel Rodríquez. But art can, on the other hand, also stimulate us to approach life in a different manner or even escape it, laying claim to the power of the imagination, like in the work of Folkert de Jong, Esther Tielemans or Marcel van Eeden. Collectively, these works make evident that art, too, has its own cycle. How that enriches ours is the recurrent theme of this presentation.
