Let Them Eat Cake
27 Oct - 04 Dec 2023
Creamcake is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary platform, negotiating the point of convergence in electronic music, contemporary art and digital technologies. The ninth edition of their 3hd festival „Let Them Eat Cake“ looks back to the symbols and archetypes of the past to address contemporary issues of exploitation and opulence.
Taking its title from a famous scene of Stanley Kubrick’s 1960 blockbuster, 3hd’s “I’m Spartacus!” film programme revels in the spirit of resistance against all odds. The presentation aims to revise and reconsider canon and convention in favor of examining marginalized voices and hidden histories. Selected moving image works from five international artists reflect on power and visibility, examining cultural identity and embodied knowledge crossing race, gender, and class.
