The working group consists of Saja Amro, Sarah Kuhail, Alina Lupu, Hilda Moucharrafieh, and Elektra Tatalia-Aloupi, among others.

Under the title “Mapping Solidarity. Mapping the Silence”, we will develop a series of participatory mapping workshops within Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, bringing together artists, activists, museum workers, and audiences to collectively trace the infrastructures shaping institutional “neutrality”.

Rather than asking whether the museum “takes a stance”, Mapping Solidarity investigates:
What material infrastructures produce neutrality?
How do financial, political, and reputational structures delimit action?
Where are the pressure points for structural change?

Mapping then becomes an artistic and political tool that allows us to research this institution which belongs to all of us, from its funding structures to its governance, and the political pressures and counter-pressures in and around it. Through this process, we will produce evolving diagrams, documentation, and an accountability framework.

This edition of the biannual exhibition focuses on collaborative artistic practices, bringing together collectives and shared ways of working. Selected from 746 submissions, 15 projects highlight practices that think, make, and act collectively. A selection will be acquired for the collection of the Stedelijk Museum.
