Artists, curators, writers and activists have long resisted centres of power, instead centring their work and lived experiences. This modular exhibition questions freedom as it relates to creative practice, asking how artists express themselves without threat or what the consequences are of those threats. They also accompany social movements and demands, showing how arts are places of resistance, dialogue, consensus and dissent.
Moving between the historical and contemporary position, the exhibition expands the notion of freedom beyond the \u201cinternational human rights\u201d language and into a meaningful series of reflections on lived experiences. It further moves the definition of freedom into recognising that artists need to sustain themselves to be free and that artists are integral to the health of societies in which oppositional points of view can coexist.
The Routes of Resistance<\/em> exhibition project was initiated by SH|FT, a non-profit organisation dedicated to artistic freedom. Following a creative brainstorm session in Mexico City in December 2022, a collective project was formed with curators from District 6 Museum in Cape Town, Borderlands Art in Kampala, Studio Barakeh in Berlin, and El Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco in Mexico City. Each curator has since then created and displayed
their unique exhibition with regional and international artists in each location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
