THESE BRANCHING MOMENTS
These Branching Moments brings together six artists, Amari, Tosh Basco, Juliana Huxtable, Jim C. Nedd, Rebecca Salvadori, and Kajol Singh, who work between the spheres of visual arts and electronic music. Through photography and video, these artists explore questions of belonging and how it takes shape in today’s world: Where can we feel safe and find community? How and where can we express ourselves authentically? Moving between art and music, day and night, the participating artists envision temporary worlds that suspend the micro- and macro-aggressions of everyday life.

'OM/MOTHER - PARTICIPATIEF FOTOPROJECT UIT HEBRON
‘Om/Mother is a participatory project showcasing photographs taken by Palestinian women and girls from the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood of Hebron, Palestine. In just a few short weeks, nearly fifty women from eight families created an archive of more than a thousand colourful photographs that capture daily life in their occupied city. Using analogue cameras, they built an impressive archive of images that depict intimate family scenes at home and how staying in Hebron has become a quiet act of resistance. The photos were compiled into a book by Barbara Debeuckelaere, with all proceeds going back to the women of Tel Rumeida.
