Kinds of Pressure

Exhibition
Opening October 2nd at 19.00, exhibition open until October 18, 2019..

Kinds of Pressure looks into the past, present and future of global labour conditions under capitalism through its dehumanising effects on people and communities in hyper-local contexts. The exhibition documents numerous performative processes of participation and collaboration with workers, activists and citizens, exposing the pressure points created by precarious working conditions, the privatisation of resources and the economisation of emotions. From €25 tears, to bronzed potatoes and protest songs, Rogalska’s social sculptures are playfully subversive, tender and rebellious.

Kinds of Pressure speaks to City of Women’s 25 years of history, testing different ways of being together and performing different political realities in the here and now.
