(No) Funny Games

Ten artistic positions are presented in a playfully utopian way, spread across the city. But beneath the apparent lightness lurks a deep discontent. With irony and wit, the works challenge the role of art in an increasingly fragile world, one in which values like safety and compassion are continually vanishing. And yet, amidst the climate crisis, political upheavals, and social polarization, one thing is patently obvious: the power and energy specific to a community are needed for the necessary structural transformation.
