Michel François in Résister, encore

Withdrawal, silence, resilience, outcry, indignation, protestation, action, reflection, satire, humor… This collective show exemplifies the forms of resistance artists have developed when faced with the great challenges of our age – those forms amount to survival strategies.

Nowadays there is no dearth of opportunities and urgency to resist the “system” – whether named or not. We are witnessing an increasingly emphatic distrust of the political class, whose lack of responsiveness or real powerlessness is pushing a growing number of people to resist by publicly protesting everything, including experiments carried out on animals, massive deforestation, globalization, White supremacy, and sexist advertising.
