Opening of ‘Is it possible to be a revolutionary and like flowers?’

Hereby we would like to cordially invite you to the festive opening of ‘Is it possible to be a revolutionary and like flowers?’* Thursday, September 9th from 8 pm to 10 pm at Nest.

The artists in this exhibition answer the question of the exhibition title with a resounding “YES!”. They show that the flower as a symbol can seduce, comfort, heal, adorn and distract, and find common ground in feminist affinities, queer desires and ecological solidarity.

Mehraneh Atashi
Rossella Biscotti
Milena Bonilla
CPR
Anne Geene
Gluklya
Philipp Gufler
Camille Henrot
Patricia Kaersenhout
