IN LIMBO. Exhibition as part of the "ANTI-FESTIVAL OF MUTATIONS"

To all who share an alarming uncertainty in the face of the current transformations of our shared world, our bodies, our professional and personal future. Anyone interested in reinventing their agency in this mysterious situation where we cannot find answers to the simplest everyday questions.

This festival is conceived as a project of solidarity among the community of cultural workers of St. Petersburg in dialogue with the international community, which shares similar concerns.

The pandemic situation revealed new forms of necropolis: in nursing homes, in refugee camps, in prisons, behind closed doors, where there is no protection from domestic violence, in emergency referendums and elections, in mass impoverishment and growing inequality. Experimental governance technologies at the intersection of security, health care and police surveillance are defining (in a penetration test mode) an anthropological shift in politics.

On the other hand, not everything is so gloomy. During this period, many unexpected things happened: a sudden semi-suspension of production and consumption, the invention of grassroots forms of caring for each other, an explosion of resistance to racism and social injustice, as well as a call for asceticism in culture and everyday life.
