Generational breaks in societies can usually be traced back to historically defining events such as wars, revolutions, pandemics, economic and ecological crises, but just as much to technological breakthroughs. For example, what is or was the influence of the internet on societies or, more specifically, the emergence of social media? Who are we, what do we (still) want to belong to? Who or what determines our identity? What was it like in the past, what will it be like in the future? What did Covid mean for us as individuals and as a group? Can we still save the world – for future generations – from ecological collapse? How do we do that and with whom?

Our current living conditions are the product of the decisions of previous, often foreign, generations. Just think of the legacy of colonialism and capitalism, both of which played (and still do) play an important role in various forms of social injustice such as climate change. The term ‘generation’ does not only stands for a specific group of people of the same age, but also for ‘constructing’, ‘making’, developing new ideas or conducting critical research into history and the future.

To explore the dynamics of generational issues, JIPFest welcomes projects that show different perspectives on the challenges and achievements of different generations. As a consequence, the artistic team for JIPFest 2023 consists of two generations of curators coming from two different continents: Asia (Indonesia) and Europe (The Netherlands). Together they will curate Generation, the final exhibition generated from the projects submitted. Click here to get to know our artistic team.
