THE FAMILIARITY CONCEPT
What is familiarity? According to Webster's Dictionary the state of being familiar with/familiarity includes a range of possible interpretations – the most positive one: being close and intimate. But it also enfolds other possible meanings such as impropriety and includes notions of forced closeness. Bondings and entanglements which allow familiar relations and perspectives thus ensure a wide range of interpretations, especially when connected to various art forms and contents.
The invited artists and participants of the exhibition project all play with imagined, possible and actual familiarities which are rooted in decolonizing practices and invite the public to share their perspectives on migration, decolonization and queer artistic practices.

THE 5 O'CLOCK TEA CONCEPT
What could be more imperial then a steaming hot cup of tea, consumed with a cucumber sandwich? Going back on a traditional late-afternoon entertainment format, also practiced early on at the VBKOE, the project tries to break and discuss colonial images. So lean back and enjoy neo-imperiality deconstructed.
