Schedule
Conflicts, economic and social inequalities, political crises, pandemics, and climate crisis: society as a whole is currently living in that paradigm,
What art historian T.J. Demos calls the "globalisation of crises". Criticisms of contemporary nation-states driven by neoliberal and capitalist imperatives often combine this with nationalist and exclusionary ideologies. The former are often coupled with nationalist and exclusionary ideologies. It is this condition that creates the multitude of crises that currently surround us. And the responses to these crises often lead to populist political approaches and the distorted demands of far-right ideologies for border protection. Whether symbolic or physical, these aggressive actions result in a polarised society where 'divisions' have become the default position.
On the one hand, the exhibition aims to articulate the complex system of problems brought about by the crisis of globalisation. On the other hand, it is to give space to critical voices and opinions, and to those whose lives are threatened, silenced, neglected or simply invisible by the current power structure.
The basic opportunity for the exhibition is provided by the Changemaker programme of the Pop The Vote! project. Co-funded by Culture Action Europe and the European Parliament, the programme uses culture to promote democratic awareness and active citizenship among young people in the European Union.
The exhibition is part of Zsuro's new initiative, working title*. Working title is a curatorial and research-based organisation for the preservation of democratic values and criticality in the arts, supporting subversive artistic and cultural initiatives, creating dialogue and giving space to marginalised voices. Working Title* organises exhibitions, launches research projects and collaborates in other pioneering cultural projects.
Co-funded by Culture Action Europe and the European Parliament.

An independent art centre with an ultra progressive vision, it's worth venturing out to the outskirts of town for its exhibitions and dawning experimental electronic nights.
