M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

The Friendship of Nations banners explore the unexpected points of commonality between the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and Poland’s Solidarność movement of the 1980s, events that coincided with major geopolitical shifts in the twentieth century, resulting in the emergence of political Islam on the one hand, and the fall of communism on the other. Made by tailors in Iran and seamstresses in Poland, the banners also speak to the unlikely points of resonance between craft traditions of the Catholic faith and Shi’a Islam.

List of banners:

  1. Long Live Long Live
  2. Simorgh Solidarność
  3. Beware the Anti-Imperialists
  4. Gashtam Nabood
  5. Man of Iran
  6. Self Management Body
  7. Death without Death
  8. Only Solidarity and Patience Will Secure Our Victory
  9. Help the Militia
  10. Lahestan Nesfeh Jahan
