The film is an uncompromising artistic collaboration featuring visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, producers, and activists.

Interwoven with artistic interpretations are testimonies from doctors and activists on the ground, offering a chilling view of the crisis—one rarely seen in mainstream coverage. “Kneecap will not stay silent while Western governments ar...

The Danish city of Aalborg continues its transformation into a vibrant canvas of ideas and stories with the 12th year of KIRK Gallery ‘s Out in the Open , the renowned public art program that brings muralists from around the world to the city’s walls. This year, two striking new works by Belgian artist SPEAR and Dutch artist TELMO offer distinct, yet deeply interconnected reflections on community, history, and the power of perspective. TELMO | Tilsammen – A Visual Marriage of Fragments Dutch artist TELMO—best known as one half of the internationally acclaimed duo TELMO MIEL—presents Tilsammen, a work that quite literally translates to “to together.” In this evocative mural, the artist explores the concept of unity through visual layering: fragments that initially appear disconnected gradually coalesce into a cohesive whole. TELMO’s approach leans into abstraction, yet maintains a human warmth, encouraging viewers to peel back visual layers and discover unexpected harmonies. The m...

The belief in Western superiority—rooted in centuries of colonial dominance, military power, and economic control—continues to shape how the United States and Europe engage with the world. These nations often see themselves not as equal participants in a shared global system, but as exceptional actors, entitled to privileges that others are denied. This worldview, built on perceived moral and political supremacy, allows them and their allies to operate under a different set of rules, with devastating consequences. Image generated by Dall-E This exceptionalism is not simply rhetorical—it translates into action. One of the most harrowing examples is Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. With the full backing of the United States and tacit support from much of Europe, Israel has carried out what many international observers, human rights organizations, and legal scholars now describe as extermination. Entire families have been wiped out, neighborhoods reduced to rubble, hospitals bombed...

In a world saturated with curated aesthetics, flawless filters, and the relentless pursuit of “pretty,” it’s easy to forget why art exists in the first place. We’ve been sold the illusion that beauty alone is enough, that art must be polished, symmetrical, and Instagram-worthy to be worthy at all. But the truth? The world doesn’t need more pretty. It needs more truth. Art is not wallpaper. It’s not decoration. Art is disruption, reflection, and revelation. It’s the mirror we hold up to society, to power, and to ourselves. It speaks where words fail. And sometimes, truth is messy. It’s raw, uncomfortable, and imperfect. But it’s also necessary. Especially now. We live in times when reality is constantly blurred, when truth itself is debated like opinion. In such a climate, the artist’s role becomes even more crucial—not to decorate the lie, but to reveal it. To uncover what is hidden, to make visible what is ignored. And yet, so many artists fall into the trap of perfection. Hours, d...
