FUTURES ENERGY in FOTODOK Utrecht

Our FUTURES Photography Platform colleagues FOTODOK are organising a three-day conference, running alongside the launch of the ENERGY Exhibition.

Fierce Togetherness – Kinship, Gender and Photography
Conference 1-3 November
At Centraal Museum - Tuinzaal, Utrecht
Book your tickets here

ENERGY: Redistributing Power and Taming Consumption Launch 5pm 31 October
Running 1 Nov 2024-2 Feb 2025 
At FOTODOK, Utrecht

Curated by Delphine Bedel and Daria Tuminas, this conference focuses on kinship, exploring possible forms of interconnectedness between actors in the local cultural scene. In their work, many of the guest participants strive to transform oppressive social structures, searching for ways to reclaim space for those who identify as women, trans, non-binary or gender-nonconforming. The programme introduces various strategies of this essential reclamation, from celebration and sharing food to protest and challenging institutions.

The conference takes shape as a FUTURES Meet-Up, connecting local participants with the broader European photographic field. Throughout the conference, artists and several FUTURES members will participate in workshops and exhibition tours at FOTODOK.
