Tänä vuonna Titanik osallistuu #StopHatredNow tapahtumaan kuratoriaalisen yhteistyön ja yhteisnäyttelyn muodossa jaetulla teemalla Actions & empathy.

Näyttely tuo yhteen kaksi taiteilijaa, Phan Nguyenin ja Abdullah Qureshin, jotka ovat
osallistuneet ja kontribuoineet diskurssiin empatiasta. Heidän teoksensa kaikuvat kuin temppelin äänikutsut, jotka protestoivat ja vastustavat koloniaalista, cis-heteronormatiivista katsetta praktiikalla, joka juhlii, nauttii, lepää, unelmoi ja huolehtii. Kutsuva laulu, joka toisten siihen liittyessä laajenee vahvempana. Nguyenin ja Qureshin töissä kaiut, väreet ja koputukset luovat yhdistyessään spekulatiivisia tiloja intersektionaaliselle empatialle, jotka värähtelevät utopioiden ja konkretian välillä –
unelmat materialisoituvat todellisuudeksi.

—

This year, Titanik is joining the #StopHatredNow platform through a curatorial collaboration and joint exhibition on the shared theme of Actions and empathy.

The exhibition brings together two artists, Phan Nguyen and Abdullah Qureshi, who have participated and contributed to the discourse around empathy. Their works keep reverberating like sound calls to a temple that protests and resists the colonial, cis- heteronormative gaze through the practice of celebration, enjoyment, resting, dreaming and caring. An inviting chant that expands stronger as others join in it. The echoes, ripples, and knocks in Nguyen’ sand Qureshi’s work merge to create a speculative space for intersectional empathy that oscillates between the utopic and the concrete—dreams materialising into reality.
