Home and the World

Museum Van Loon, Amsterdam, Netherlands
05 April - 07 July 2024

Curated by guest curator and art historian Thomas J. Berghuis and set within the historical context of Museum Van Loon, fourteen artists from around the world explore the intricate connections between colonialism and nationalism. The exhibition poses a question: how can humanity feel at home in a world beyond the 'colonial state' and the 'nation-state'? What insights and concepts—from migrant communities, indigenous peoples, collectives, and diaspora representatives—provide us with tools for connectivity across often artificial borders? How can humanity coexist in harmony with each other and with nature?
