The exhibition is a tribute to the local art scene, while reflecting our city in all its nuances. The title is inspired by a line from a poem by the Gothenburg-based poet Rasha Alqasim, Jag matar kriget med dem jag älskar [I Feed the War with the Ones I Love]. By linking the city as the home of the participating artists with Alqasim’s thoughts on what a home is, the home emerges as a social body, as brick, security, and community. But also as wounds, violence and loss.
Daniel EKTA Götesson, 2023
The home is our place of birth, that place we leave behind, and the destination of our wandering. It is a place of ideological disagreements, creating and harbouring our lives, memories and stories. A place that sets the conditions for but also enables negotiation. A place that comes to life through those who live and die there. That encloses us with its walls, embracing some but excluding others.
