(A)WAKE: IF WALLS COULD TALK
(A)WAKE
The collective (A)WAKE is one of the forces behind the club/space MONO, a cultural space for alternative sounds in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. (A)WAKE is a collective built by diaspora artists from the WANA region. (A)WAKE is committed to providing a space for the in-between diasporic voices from similarly mixed cultural backgrounds. Its direction is driven by questioning the emancipatory potential of the digital world in favour of equal access and mutual cultural exchange between WANA and Western Europe. Through the focus on these two regions which they personally find themselves in, they aim towards propositive approaches which challenge the greater North-South power dynamics through art and digital culture.
Home of Your Own in the Temporary House of Home
As part of the Temporary House of Home exhibition, a room called Home of Your Own offers space to the representatives of a new generation of designers. Because of social distancing, this generation had to spend months of their education, leading up to graduation, in front of the computer screen and in often complicated domestic circumstances. How has this experience shaped their understanding of the home, and how does it relate to their own practice? In a series of bi-monthly installations, the young designers present their own highly personal views of home.
