ANGRY

ANGRY focuses on the interpretation of the angry and obstinate adolescents. Protest, resistance and (radical) action in our society is shown from three different aspects: by the youth themselves, by the media and through the interpretation of artists and photographers.

What is radicalisation? Who is radical and who says so? Is radicalisation a threat to our society?

In the exhibition ANGRY radicalism is shown from three different perspectives: by young people, by the media and through the eyes of artists. Among these artists are important (inter)national photographers, and filmmakers: Rineke Dijkstra, Willie Doherty, Joel Sternfeld and Allan Sekula. A series of video portraits show various generations of (ex)radicals who talk about their motives. ANGRY looks at the uncompromising power and idealism of youth as a driving force for changes in our society. The exhibition contains photo’s, video installations, web-based art, video portraits, photo’s and videos. The complete project ANGRY consists of this rich exhibition, the website a-n-g-r-y.nl, an educational program and several debates, films and lectures.
