Outdoor Screen: Manuel Axel Strain – what do you know?, 2023

Until October 2, the outdoor screen shows what do you know?, a newly commissioned work by Manuel Axel Strain, which the artist created in collaboration with – and in reference to – their relatives and their land. what do you know? comprises three segments that layer voices and locations across space and time, with Strain’s mother, brother, niece and nephew sharing two poems that are in dialogue with one another. As part of the installation, the video is surrounded by an in-situ painting that evokes a power that is traced to different memories, stories and places, becoming a portal into and beyond the moving image.

Ghostly Makers

“Ghostly Makers” exhibition features artists expressing diasporic identities using craft. Inspired by Avery Gordon’s “haunting” concept, the art gives voice to marginalized experiences. Carmen Levy-Milne, a cultural worker with a Jewish settler background, contributes to the show’s reparative, decolonial, and critical responses. The exhibition also delves into its space’s history and contemporary collection methods to explore cultural identity and memory.
