The exhibition 'Nobody is Free, Until Everybody is Free' confronts visitors with pressing global issues such as human rights violations, genocide, and colonial violence in regions like Congo, Palestine, and Sudan. It emphasizes that these events, while potentially overwhelming and seemingly distant, are interconnected and affect everyone.

A special newspaper has been launched to accompany the exhibition, featuring profound stories of international solidarity drawn from archives including those of Amilcar Cabral, Kwame Nkrumah, Otto and Hermina Huiswoud, and the 10 years of KOZP. These narratives are designed not only to inspire but also to provoke thought and encourage action. T-shirts related to the exhibition are available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting charitable organizations supporting communities in Congo, Palestine, and Sudan.
Entry is donation-based. A recommended donation of €10 per person, €5 for students, pupils, and seniors (65+). Entry for children aged 0-11 is always free. The exhibition is open Wednesday to Saturday from 11:00 to 17:00.
