EVENT DESCRIPTION
In times of turmoil, when the world teeters on the edge of chaos—riots erupting, protests filling the streets, entire communities struggling to afford basic necessities like heating and food—rest assured that artists are here for you. Not just any artists, but the ones who truly matter: the internationally recognised, the critically acclaimed, the ones with gallery representation and collectors eager to support their work. These artists are using their creative genius to amplify your struggles, transforming your hardships into thought-provoking installations and compelling visual narratives.
At prestigious events where the elite convene to sip champagne and discuss the fate of the world, your plight is put on display. These exclusive patrons—collectors, curators, and socialites—are given the rare opportunity to experience the raw truth of your existence through the lens of fine art. And who knows? Perhaps, moved by a particularly striking piece, they’ll feel inclined to contribute—not directly to you, of course, but to the artists and galleries that work tirelessly to interpret your pain. Because awareness is the first step toward change, and nothing spreads awareness like a well-placed performance in a VIP lounge.
But before we can fight for your cause, we must first address the grave injustices within our own world. Yes, the art world itself is plagued by inequities—gatekeeping, financial exclusivity, and an overwhelming reliance on wealthy benefactors. The revolution can wait; first, we must ensure that our own voices are heard, our own struggles acknowledged, and our own careers sustained.
But don’t despair! You have a chance to help us so that we can help you. Over the past year, we have been diligently crafting posters—cutting, collaging and staging with the very materials that fuel the art elite: discarded Art Basel catalogues, glossy advertisements from high-end galleries, and alongside old magazines of our comrades. Through this effort, we aim to reclaim a fragment of the exclusive power that dominates the art market and redistribute it in the name of justice—starting, of course, with justice for us.
