Very happy to announce that my new video installation Hugging Angela Davis is on show in Dresden at “1 Mio Rosen for Angela Davis”.

Kunsthalle im Lipsiusbau
Georg-Treu-Platz 1
01067 Dresden

10.10.2020—24.01.2021

The exhibition takes its name, and thematic impetus from the large-scale and vastly popular state-organized solidarity campaign in the GDR calling for the release of the US philosopher, communist and Black Power activist Angela Davis. The show focusses on the issues that the now emeritus professor campaigned on at the time, which are still pressing today, and thereby initiates discussion about the background, flaws, and unfulfilled potential of this unusual relationship between Davis and the GDR.
