Curated by Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez, When Solidarity Is Not a Metaphor offers a counter-space to the reigning agendas of war, patriarchal and climate toxicity. Inspired by the title of the book Decolonization Is Not a Metaphor (2012), in which authors Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang analyse the material and factual violence of colonialism, the exhibition positions solidarity as praxis. The invited artists are alumni, current residents or collaborators of the Cité internationale des Arts in Paris and the Alserkal Initiatives network originating in Dubai.
