📢 "WHAT IS A.E.P.O.C.?"

Some people asked is A.E.P.O.C. something like BIPOC?
Nope, A.E.P.O.C. puns on époque, meaning "era" in French.
The "belle époque" is the European golden age for the arts in the end of the 19th century.

The idea behind it is that we are unapologetically present in Europe, we have the power and freedom to do whatever we want to shape, change or influence on this continent. We can give our own meaning to its concepts, shake it up and create its future.

Today, May 7th, we go from 19.00-22.00 (CEST). We have so much to show, so many amazing people present, and so much to talk about! So get your FREE tickets for the event NOW through the link in our bio. See you there! 🎟️🌟

📣 We are proud to introduce to you Raul Balai , our last partner but most importantly the initiator of A.E.P.O.C.!

Raul Balai a.k.a. el bastardo took the initiative to start A.E.P.O.C. He is an artist-curator and exhibition maker based in Amsterdam. Raul uses a number of different styles, genres, to expose and explore what remains at stake within the history of diversities.

Balai is fascinated by the way our exploitative state of mind frames the shape of the world. How this is present in the everyday and the everywhere, and the way the media and academia repeat and portray our world as part of the western ‘situation’, its peoples bravado and its countries heroism. While reworking these subjects in a lighthearted ‘nod and a wink’ manner, underneath this strategy are serious concerns 😉.

Not only does he do this as an artist or curator, but also in his practice as an exhibition maker and designer. By doing so he is ensuring a chatter of ideas and ideals, providing a constant ebb and flow for the context to resonate with the viewer 🌊.
