(back) Against the Will, Against Staying Still 03 Jul 2025
  • Against the Will, Against Staying Still is a group exhibition that examines immediacy as both a creative tool and a survival strategy in response to an ever-changing, crisis-spawning present. Equipped with unique fictional weapons, six artists shaped their creative process into one of rapid decision-making, communication, and upcycling, with the intention of battling the exhibition’s boss: the curator.
