Final weeks:
Visit War is Personal until 25 May
The final weeks of the solo exhibition by Ukrainian photojournalist and documentary filmmaker Julia Kochetova have begun. While international media often reduce war to statistics, Kochetova turns her lens to the personal lives behind the statistics; to the homes, the people who remain and their language. She makes the personal realities of conflict tangible and confronts visitors with questions about memory, survival, and the meaning of home as the war persists.
⭢ War is Personal is on view at Foam until 25 May.

Spend a Sunday afternoon at Foam:
creative walk-in workshop
Every other Sunday afternoon, Foam offers a free walk-in workshop. This workshop is inspired by Martin Parr’s Autoportrait Series, in which he brings together three decades of portraits taken in photo booths, studios, and on the street around the world, through which he sought to highlight the many different shapes, forms and traditions of global portrait photography.
In the workshop, you will create your own personal postcard, inspired by Parr’s unique perspective. Discover his way of seeing and experience photography in a fun and creative way.

Join us for the book presentation of Jakob Ganslmeier and Ana Zibelnik
Artist duo Jakob Ganslmeier and Ana Zibelnik return to Foam for the presentation of their new book If a Flower Bloomed in a Dark Room, Would You Trust It?. This book follows the online rabbit holes developing from two mainstream social media trends related to self-improvement: fitness and spirituality. The book builds on extensive visual research into the image rhetorics used by far-right political groups online, especially those employing positive visual language to convey hate messages.
⭢ Join us Thursday 7 May 18.00 hrs for an evening hosted by Foam’s senior curator Claartje van Dijk, including a Q&A with the artists to discuss their creative process and the making of the book.
