Eleni Kamma presents works in the group exhibition 'Persona Everywhere'.

About the exhibition
Persona Everyware brings toge­ther the works of eight artists and artist two­so­mes around issues to do with the common good, ano­ny­mity, and 'de­per­so­ni­fi­ca­tion’ in the digi­tal age: videos, ins­tal­la­tions, and dra­wings will all be on view in the rooms at the Hôtel Rochegude. Eleni Kamma shows four drawings and the work-in-progress video 'Migratie'.

'Migratie'
In the summer of 2018 Greek-Cypriot artist Eleni Kamma commissioned three screenwriters to write sketches on seven community-related concepts that create disagreement: Democracy, Prosperity, Solidarity, Europe, Languages, Migration, Pluralism. Kamma borrowed these from BELvue Museum, which uses them to reflect on Belgium and Belgian society. In the deep Belgian forest surrounding Eben-Ezer Tower, humans and puppets come together to tell a joke on Migration by Flemish writer, director and performing artist Pieter De Buysser. A volunteer, a politician, an ex-refugee, a journalist, animal-headed refugees and laughing happy people co-exist and narrate the joke.
