THESE BRANCHING MOMENTS

28.06.25 - 28.09.25

These Branching Moments brings together six artists, Amari, Tosh Basco, Juliana Huxtable, Jim C. Nedd, Rebecca Salvadori, and Kajol Singh, who work between the spheres of visual arts and electronic music.

Through photography and video, these artists explore questions of belonging and how it takes shape in today’s world: Where can we feel safe and find community? How and where can we express ourselves authentically? Moving between art and music, day and night, the participating artists envision temporary worlds that suspend the micro- and macro-aggressions of everyday life. 

The exhibition finds refuge in the night as a space for experimentation, freedom, and imagination, with the artists resisting a world that increasingly imposes control. They do this by creating elusive, ever-changing moments where complexity and mystery are allowed to exist. Featuring contributions from diverse communities – from experimental electronic musicians and queer strippers of colour to performance artists and Caribbean youth at mass gatherings – the exhibition reveals how like-mindedness, freedom, and solidarity can be found in the shadow zones of normative society.

Together with curator Evelyn Simons and inspired by the artists’ work, the designers of Espace Aygo have conceived a sensorial and immersive scenography for the exhibition, while Atelier Brenda is responsible for the graphic design. Step into a world where art and music cross-pollinate, and where the night is celebrated as fertile ground for resistance and renewal.

'OM/MOTHER - A PARTICIPATORY PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT FROM HEBRON

28.06.25 - 28.09.25

Featuring work by: ‘Om Abdul, Abeer, Ahed, ‘Om Ahmad, Aroub, Aseel, Awatif, Ayla, Aysha, Barbara, Dallal, ‘Om Emad, Eman, Eylul, Fatima, Gina, Hayam, ‘Om Hazem, Jana, Janat, Jory, Julia, Kawthar, Kawthar, Lamar, Layan, Lojain, Maram, ‘Om Muntasser, Nidaa, Ola, Qais, Qamar, Rahaf, Sarah, Shahd, Sham, Shirihan, Siline, Soundos, Sundus, ‘Om Tamer, ‘Om Wisam, ‘Om Yusuf, Zaina, Zainab 

‘Om/Mother is a participatory project showcasing photographs taken by Palestinian women and girls from the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood of Hebron, Palestine. The photos were taken in September 2023, shortly before the Hamas attack of 7 October and the Israeli bombings in Gaza and the West Bank, which claimed tens of thousands of lives. 

In just a few short weeks, nearly fifty women from eight families created an archive of more than a thousand colourful photographs that capture daily life in their occupied city. Using analogue cameras, they built an impressive archive of images that depict intimate family scenes at home and how staying in Hebron has become a quiet act of resistance. The images reveal what is often left unseen. With tenderness, they show how people strive to preserve everyday routines in an occupied village and how a sense of community exists even there. Photography is the glue that binds these women together and the project has helped them form a close-knit community. The photos were compiled into a book by Barbara Debeuckelaere, with all proceeds going back to the women of Tel Rumeida. 

Tel Rumeida is a village in H2, an area of Hebron under Israeli military control. Hebron is the only place in the West Bank with an Israeli settlement in the heart of a Palestinian city. The freedom of Palestinian residents was already severely limited by countless road closures and checkpoints, restricted access to healthcare, and minimal public services. Since October 2023, this situation has worsened dramatically. A third of the homes in Tel Rumeida now stand empty, as many residents have either been killed or forced to flee.
