Curatorial Statement

The philosophy of Radical Hope is the inspiration for this Experimenta public art presentation. Radical Hope is a transformative framework that challenges us to move beyond passive optimism, instead embracing collective action, shared goals and resilience.

Radical Hope is rooted in the belief that social change emerges from community-driven efforts. It calls on diverse groups to coalesce, transcend societal limitations, and actively imagine and walk towards a just and equitable future.

The works featured in this presentation by Experimenta, as part of Horizon Festival 2025, reflect this ethos. These works go beyond a single act of art making; they are part of long-term projects embodying the artists’ acts of Radical Hope.
