Le Guess Who? Student Exhibition<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the run up to the festival, about 170 students of three secondary schools in Utrecht have created artworks inspired by artists of the 2023 line up, commissioned by Le Guess Who? and BAK. The students researched “how artists tell their stories through sound and image” and followed a workshop with BAK to learn more on this. The artworks are exhibited during the festival at BAK. The exhibition is a colorful collection of multimedia works, in which students provide their own interpretation of the music and culture of the artists.<\/p>\n

This education project is a collaboration between Le Guess Who? and BAK. The participating schools are X11 media en vormgeving, Gerrit Rietveld College, and De Werkplaats Kindergemeenschap. The artists on which the works are based are African Head Charge, Faiz Ali Faiz, Ana Frango El\u00e9trico, MC Yallah, Bombino, and Stereolab.<\/p>\n

Music Futurisms<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The term Afro-Futurism has slowly become part of a mainstream cultural vocabulary.

From Scratch \u2013 How to Build a Border-Defying Community<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

An array of COSMOS-partners come together to discuss their own expertise: that of building communities, forming grassroots initiatives and initiating impactful cultural movements in today\u2019s globalized and digitalised society, in which borders become porous and can be challenged. A \u2018how-to\u2019 guide offering valuable insight, from speakers who can attest that as such movements become greater in number, the greater their potential of disrupting the norms and systems that serve only the few rather than the many.<\/p>\n

Moderated by Samantha Lippett (ICRN) with guest speakers Gayance, Laurent Bigarella (Reset!\/Arty Farty), together with Radio Tirkultura, and AZEEMA.<\/p>\n
