A digital glimpse into 'Actions of Art and Solidarity'
26 March 2021
In these uncertain times we've collaborated with Kunstnernes Hus to ensure that the exhibition remains available digitally, which also gives audiences from across the globe the chance to experience the artworks, learn about the artists and dive into the stories on display.
Watch curator Katya García-Antón (Director/Chief Curator, Office for Contemporary Art Norway) walk you through the exhibition while explaining the main themes here:
'Actions of Art and Solidarity' includes Indigenous perspectives, focuses on micro-narratives of solidarity, and looks beyond the Cold War era to the present day. The exhibition brings together a range of historic pieces, contemporary pieces as well as new commissions. The latter includes various instances of solidarity in both Norwegian history and recent history commissioned by OCA. The logic of the exhibition as a whole is to emphasise overlooked artistic micro-narratives that constituted, arguably, the veritable and enduring power of artists and their expressions of solidarity during the Cold War and beyond.
