 cted-2020-52">Unlocked / Reconnected (2020)</a>\nReimagining Home: Art and
  Solidarity in the Wake of Crisis The exhibition Unlocked / Reconnected is
  an initiative that brings together almost two hundred ‘houses for art
 ’ throughout the Netherlands: Museums\, Institutes for presentation\, ga
 lleries\, artists’ initiatives and corporate collections. The point depa
 rture for Unlocked / Reconnected is the idea of sollidairity\, the will to
  reflect collectively on what home is. As an initiative Unlocked Reconnect
 ed stems from a sense that opening up the home\, in the aftermath of the l
 ockdown\, will force us to reconsider our outlook on this. Unlocked / Reco
 nnected underlines the importance of art and culture in this period of glo
 bal crisis. Kingsley Ogwara (Luxembourg/Nigeria) is fascinated by people a
 nd how they are defined by their relationship to the community in which th
 ey live. His colourful abstracts tend to take on the form of masses in whi
 ch there is a lot to discover. Ogwara does not consider crowds of people a
 s a threat to the individual\, but rather a home\, a warm\, liberating bla
 nket of solidarity\, which allows different people from different backgrou
 nds to be connected in their human values and needs. In the recent lock-do
 wn period\, the physical mass suddenly posed a threat to the individual\, 
 but was in no time replaced by a warm blanket of online solidarity. From j
 oint online Zoom concerts from individual living rooms\, community aid gro
 ups via WhatApp\, to the shared weekly applause for the people in the heal
 thcare sector. Our individualistic society regained its sense of community
  and solidarity. Hopefully\, solidarity and humanity will remain prominent
  values in the coming recovery period and the day will soon come when we w
 ill be able to celebrate life and culture en masse again.

 the individual\, but was in no time replaced by a warm blanket of online s
 olidarity. From joint online Zoom concerts from individual living rooms\, 
 community aid groups via WhatApp\, to the shared weekly applause for the p
 eople in the healthcare sector. Our individualistic society regained its s
 ense of community and solidarity. Hopefully\, solidarity and humanity will
  remain prominent values in the coming recovery period and the day will so
 on come when we will be able to celebrate life and culture en masse again.
