A Voice Can Calm A Restless Heart - a group exhibition by VAV alums

On September 18, the exhibition A Voice Can Calm A Restless Heart will open.

Ten alumni from the VAV department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie proudly engage in dialogue in this group exhibition. Together they give shape to the themes of identity, togetherness, and connectedness, but also loneliness and sadness. They address these themes through drawings, paintings, film images, videos, sculptures, and other visual media. The exhibition serves as a reminder that your voice has the power to impact others, in a time that calls for comfort as well as outspokenness and action. ‘’The works voice what we express in our practice and in our personal lives, and how we do so with gentleness, urgency, or resistance’’.

Participating artists are: Izzy Lee, Léa Giordano, Karolina Hyun Wilting, Yael Schuster, Miray van der Bend, Esther Rzewnicki, Vasilisa Ikryannikova, Gabriël van de Sluis, Fatima Agoula, Chloé Morietti.
