Stand with us & people all around the world!
With a standing class with Reineke Jonke, a talk and Lightness pamphlet by Dirk Vis, music by Salvador Breed and the app launch of Standing by Hubbub.
Get the app
The application challenges playful activism and protest. Take a stand for anything important that’s on your mind and people from different parts of the world will join you to do the same. During Take a Stand we will be able to see all the standing-activity with the help of a Tactical Display made possible by Hubbub. You can get the app in the iTunes-store and read about on the the Hubbub-blog.
This ‘stand-in’ is a reflection on the events in Turkey in the summer of 2013, but as an contemporary act, also related to the famous sit-ins in the Seventies.
Lightness
Take a Stand is part of the Lightness events of Mediamatic: eleven weeks with eleven exhibitions and artists. During the ‘stand-in’ Mediamatic is full of modern ex-votos, drawings and texts , and aggregated by artist Richtje Reinsma, dedicated to higher powers.
