We are getting closer to it every day. The current attempt by the city of Berlin to deport cultural workers involved in Palestine solidarity protests marks another sad step on the ladder to the authoritarian state and eventually fascism. The title of this show couldn’t be more timely.

It’s the last week of „Are we there yet?“ at nomegallery a group show on police violence and authoritarian state. Closing event on April 12th 4:00 pm.

I am showing „Pan, Tilt & Zoom“ (2018)

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

- i deserve to spend time doing things that make me feel good and whole.

- i am capable of listening to my body and responding to what it needs.

- it's okay if i no longer have ambitions for a career.

- i am worth so much more than what i produce for the consumption of others.

- it's okay to redefine what a successful life looks like for me.

- i am allowed to enjoy things simply because they bring me joy.

- spending time doing something I love is enough
