Between November 14 and 21, 2024 n.b.k. presents this year's Artists’ Film International (AFI’24) program which is collectively curated and presented by fifteen international arts organizations and convened by Forma, London.
AFI’24 introduces the work of talented moving image artists to worldwide audiences, and is live over 300 days, with exhibitions, screenings and public programs hosted across four continents. This year the AFI partners have commissioned or selected recent artists’ films which respond to the theme ‘Solidarity’. Considering solidarity as a collective form of resistance, togetherness and interdependence, the films in AFI’24 address the ways in which solidarity is needed, sought and enacted on micro and macro scales. The program was launched at Crawford Art Gallery in Cork, Ireland in July 2024, before being presented around the world at AFI’24 partner venues: argos centre for audiovisual arts, Brussels, Belgium; Ballroom Marfa, Texas, USA; Center for Contemporary Arts Afghanistan in eXiLe e.V., (CCAA in EXiLe), Frankfurt, Germany; Cultural Center of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia; Forma, London, UK; Fundación Proa, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo (GAMeC), Bergamo, Italy; Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), Los Angeles, USA; MMAG Foundation, Amman, Jordan; Project 88, Mumbai, India; Sapieha Palace, branch of the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), Vilnius, Lithuania; Tramway, Glasgow, Scotland; Tromsø Kunstforening,Tromsø, Norway; Video-Forum of Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k), Berlin, Germany.
