How does past violence affect your life in the present? What do you pass on to future generations? Refresh Amsterdam #2 includes works by 20 artists from different disciplines, selected through an open call. Through their work, they demonstrate how wars and conflicts around the world and over time play a part in the city of Amsterdam.
Refresh Amsterdam is a biennial, interdisciplinary manifestation of Amsterdam’s urban culture. This second edition is organized together with more than 20 cultural institutions in Amsterdam, with the collective We Sell Reality as our main partner. While Refresh Amsterdam #2 is happening, work by selected artists are on view at various locations in the city, such as the installation Overtoom 274 (2023) by Pieter Paul Pothoven at the International Institute of Social History.
Refresh Amsterdam #2 will last between 8 October 2023 - 25 February 2024.
