IF YOU KNEW IT, WHY DIDN’T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

How do we talk to our children about the imminent climate disaster, about global conflicts and crises? If You Knew It, Why Didn’t You Do Something About It? With the exuberance and spontaneity of her previous works including her widely acclaimed photobook „Sorry I Disappeared I Gave Birth But Now I’m Back” the Hungarian artist continues to consider the demands of parenthood through the lens of the camera.

This new body of mixed media works in corporates photographs by Gáldi Vinkó (b. 1982, Budapest) with drawings, painting, text, and other elements added by artist Hin (b. 1981, Hong Kong) a friend of Gáldi Vinkó, and Gáldi Vinkó’s 6-year-old daughter Dana.

The deeply personal, poignant series of photo-based works explores multiple converging perspectives and responses to the climate emergency and visions of the future, capturing the exchanges between a mother to a child. The work also considers the shifting role of photographs in a rapid, intrusive news cycle and the ways it collides with and contradicts a parent’s attempts to create a sense of safety and security in the domestic realm.

The event is open to the public.
