During a creative week at Skissernas Museum, the focus will be on artistic freedom. Curators from Mexico, Uganda, South Africa, and Germany will be present to explore each other’s material to create a joint form of expression, negotiating polyphonic, more complex perspectives on global artistic routes of resistance. In the Birgit Rausing Hall, this process-based project will take shape as an exhibition and a zine, a collaborative publication.

Artists, curators, writers, and activists have long found ways to resist established centres of power, instead working from free thought and lived experience. Routes of Resistance seeks to create an open space to discuss the concept of freedom in relation to creative practice. With around thirty art works, the exhibition highlights how artistic strategies can stand up to direct or indirect threats and examines the consequences of creating art under pressure and censorship.

Participating Curators: Bonita Bennett, District Six Museum, Cape Town, Kara Blackmore, Borderlands Art, Kampala, Dr Khaled Barakeh, Studio Khaled Barakeh, Berlin, Sofía Carrillo Herrerías, Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco, Mexico City and Process Leader/Zine Maker: Gloria Kiconco, Kampala.

Routes of Resistance was initiated by SH|FT (Safe Havens Freedom Talks), a non-profit organization dedicated to artistic freedom.

The project is funded by the Swedish Postcode Foundation.
