“Everything is political” Graphics Masereel expo: Magrafica

Magrafica

An exhibition with graphic art inspired on the work and ideas of Frans Masereel.

“Everything is political”

Starting from this provocative statement, and drawing inspiration from the artistic work and life of woodcut artist Frans Masereel, Masereelfonds and its partners are organising an exhibition on the theme of democracy. Participants are invited to use these words and images as a starting point for creating graphic work, exploring the complexities and diverse interpretations of democracy—or the lack thereof..

One of my graphic works (lithography) was selected for this exhibition that will be traveling through Belgium.

Exhibition

The opening exhibition will take place in Antwerp between May 15 and June 15, 2025. From all submitted works, a jury will select a number of pieces for this first exhibition. Starting in September 2025, the exhibition will continue its tour through Flanders and Brussels. Each location will make its own selection from the submitted works, making every exhibition unique. The works that are not physically displayed will be presented digitally at the exhibition. All works will also be showcased online and through social media.

The exhibition space in the cellar of the university of Antwerp.

The Catalogue with professional reproductions of all the works (also the ones not selected for the exhibition) can be ordered online.
