Oude Kerk presents 'The World After: Conversation Pieces', an exhibition featuring short films by 16 artists that emerged from an online project initially conceived in response to the Covid-19 crisis. The contributions, characterized by a blend of insecurity and optimism, paint a picture of the unusual spring of 2020. Installed throughout the Oude Kerk from September 2020, these videos are not presented as traditional artworks but as integral parts of an enduring dialogue between the Oude Kerk, the artists, and society. This context-specific project, initiated in collaboration with Mister Motley, responded to a global social situation rather than the building's physical context. The exhibition also serves as a platform for an extensive public programme including performances, screenings, artist talks, concerts, and debate evenings, furthering its aim to foster inclusive engagement with the historic space.
Tickets can be booked in advance for this exhibition. Visitors are encouraged to 'Book now' via the provided link, which directs to the Oude Kerk ticketing platform.
