A performance criticizing money from European funding institutions to artists around the world.
Fri 15 Nov ’24
and
Sat 16 Nov ’24

No More! White Money is a participatory performance about money, art and power. Six independent artists from India, Nigeria, Russia, the Netherlands and Germany expose the neo-colonial structure of contemporary arts funding.

We observe the flow of White Money from European funding institutions to artists around the world. White Money dictates aesthetics, access and mobility for artists within and beyond Europe - and yet this performance would not exist without it. Do we sell ourselves, our ideas and our aesthetics to the discourse decided by a random jury or the latest director of an institution? How do we co-create, acknowledging our unequal positions in the world and our complicity with white money? In No More! White Money, together with the audience, we enter the playing field and invent some new rules of the game. We playfully dissect the strings attached to white money and patiently master each visa interview. The temperature on the stage is dipping, the energy bills are rising, the algorithms are deepening the divides, and we need to redistribute our wealth now. Are you ready to say goodbye to your white money? For the sake of art?
