"In search of a better life, people leave their own country to make a new start elsewhere. Sometimes forced by war and violence, sometimes because of a lack of perspective. Always dreaming about a better future. The arrival of migrants also means change in the new homeland. How we live together is essential for the future. In part three of What Next? Picture tomorrow, 38CC presents work by four (inter) nationally renowned artists that revolve around migration, borders and dealing with the other. " Daya Cahen, Lucas Lenglet, Adrian Paci and Remco Torenbosch
“With one cage for one bird, Lucas Lenglet refers to the way we deal with migrants. The cage with European canary in this installation can represent both safety and captivity. The monochrome gray collage behind it not only echoes the structure of the cage, but also says something about dealing with the other and the world. Remco Torenbosch's installation EU is the result of artistic research into the blue background color of the European flag. For Torenbosch, the nuances in blue reflect the differences in vision and expectations With the portraits of young Russian girls in Birth of a Nation, Daya Cahen gives us a glimpse into Putin's patriotic youth as it prepares for the ideal, future nation. Despite the strict uniform dress code, each girl still expresses her own individuality The airplane stairs in Adrian Paci's video work Centro di permanenza temporanea is vo or the no man's land into which migrants can end up. At the same time, the staircase in this exhibition functions as a metaphor for migration. "
