ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Which bodies are allowed to move freely and unhindered through the city? How can groups of people change cities through organisation, solidarity and movement? During a performance festival and exhibition in ROZENSTRAAT, a diverse group of artists will explore these questions and many more besides through videos, readings, performances, tours and workshops.
The festival and exhibition engage in critical dialogue with AmsterdamREALTIME and consider the presence of different bodies in public spaces. It aims to acknowledge the shifting nature of their presence and the norms of their acceptance in different contexts by tracing their choreography of power and vulnerability.
Enter/Public/Space and Enter/Public/Stage investigate the performativity of the body, presence in public spaces, and the political dimensions of urban design and technology. Bodies in public spaces are read, judged, and regulated through and ‘oriented’ around unevenly distributed infrastructural conditions. Some movements feel natural, but others encounter resistance, friction, or exclusion. The program pays special attention to mobility and surveillance. At a time when freedom of movement, visibility, and control are becoming increasingly unequal, the festival offers an artistic platform for the critical, sensory, and public exploration of these urgent issues.
