Explication:
We initiated the Solidarity and Agency project at the Arsenal Gallery in Białystok during the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, when on March 12, 2020 cultural institutions in Poland were closed. It was Rebecca Solnit who inspired us to talk about solidarity during the crisis, convincing us that it is at the times of disaster that we become solidary, altruistic and empathic. During last weeks, we have all been observing self-help and solidarity actions both on a large scale an within small local communities. Despite the necessity of “social distance”, or else – thanks to it, we have found ways and tools for community-focused practices.
Artists presented at this exhibition focus on solidary and agential attitudes. We hope that such a way of imaging and commemorating the crisis – though only partial – can be an inspiration for further practice of solidarity and imagination. We would like it to inspire faith in future and in the agency of each of us. The end of this story hasn’t been written yet.
