Born in Flames – Resistance
These coming weeks Ellen de Bruijne Projects will present numerous events around the theme of resistance, resulting in a vivid exhibition that will grow by the day. Starting point is 1983 cult movie Born in Flames by Lizzie Borden, a documentary style film dealing with problems of all kinds. In a future United States socialist democracy sexism, racism and classism are daily routine. Diverse groups of women feel urged to gather and revolt against not only the government, but cultural society as a whole to stop matters for once and for all.
The event based exhibition brings various artists together, from in and outside the gallery, connected by their shared fascination for resistance in every imaginable way. Ellen de Bruijne Projects will present lectures, performances and screenings. Updates on events, dates and times will come soon!
On Tuesday the 5th of June we will kick off with the screening of Born in Flames accompanied by a lecture by Kaisa Lassinaro, whose new book Born in Flames will be launched in the gallery at that evening. You are all welcome at 19.30 at Ellen de Bruijne Projects.
