A group show at the recently opened transmediale studio inside Silent Green showcases works by fourteen international artists, presenting a mix of original paintings and drawings, prints, sculptures and video works. Among the artists exhibited are Baphoboy (TH), whose often fixedly ‘smiling’ characters engaged in sexualized, ultra-violent scenes hold a mirror up to Thailand’s elite, and Matt Furie (USA), whose peace-loving character Pepe the Frog has been high-jacked as a popular meme of the Alt-Right. Loulou João (BE) shines a unique light on the representation of Black women, and Luzia Kwiatkowska (PL) uses her illustration to raise awareness for climate change. 

The exhibition further includes works by Alex Jenkins (UK), Andrey Kasay (RUS), Aurélia Durand (FR), Esra Gülmen (TUR), Kissi Ussuki (LTU), mr clement (HK), Timothy Winchester (UK), Ýrúrarí (ISL) and Yukfun (UK). It leads to the glorious cupola where the outcome of our recent call for entries, the ‘100 Flags of the United Character Nations’ are proudly raised.
