This show opened at the\u00a0FRONT ROOM<\/a>\u00a0gallery of Julia Walter in Amsterdam this Saturday just passed – May 03 2025,\u00a014:00 – 18:00 – and continues on until the 15th of June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Julia’s statement: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unity against threats from the extreme right is timelessly relevant, internationally. Current developments in the world make clear: the normalization of rightwing ideology demands daily resistance and a counter-mobilization to make antifascism the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the extreme right, antifascism, antiracism, feminism, environmental activism, the LGBTQIA+ movement, campaigns for social justice and climate justice, pacifism, all belong together, labeled as \u201eunnatural egalitarianism\u201d. Therefore the various movements have one opponent in common: the extreme right. We must stand together to support and strengthen a democratic civil society.
For this specific happening, over 80 local and international makers, established artists and designers as well as non-professionals and students gathered their strength, because each and every one of us can ensure that we are one more. All participants followed an Open Call, there was no pre-selection of the work, everyone with the urge to participate was welcome to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


You can expect a fantastic range of politically outspoken PINS & POSTERS in this show.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our main goal is to spread the message. During this exhibition, PINS & POSTERS are offered based on a donation, with a minimum to cover the production costs of the individual participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an impressive international line-up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In line with the theme – in which the artists were asked to produce pieces to get the message out there with minimum fuss and cost – my works are reworking badges I made for a previous event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Vote For Pedro’ badge comes from the film Napoleon Dynamite<\/a>, a hit to Gen X’ers like myself \ud83d\ude09 . I had a play with some versions I made a while back (to wear to a party o’course), to include some text that is important to me, specific to the two countries I have called home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was thinking ‘what would I wear’, and ‘what’s a fun way to present it’, so they’re a little tongue-in-cheek and impermanent, but they invite more playful exchange, which is something we’re in need of right now. Alongside treaty, diversity, equity and inclusion, obviously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
