About the exhibition
From 3 April to 8 May, VOX-POP, in collaboration with artists from the PhArt group, presents a group exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Rosa Luxemburg. Inspired by her revolutionary ideas and activism, the exhibition explores her legacy through diverse visual artworks and an interactive fringe programme. Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was an influential Marxist thinker, political activist, and revolutionary whose fight for social justice, democracy, and equality remains deeply relevant today. Her ideas resonate in contemporary debates on economic inequality, climate activism, and the impact of capitalism on education and labour.
The PhArt group is a changing group of artists from various disciplines who take a philosopher, thinker or writer as their subject every few years and organise an exhibition to accompany it. In 2019 the focus was Spinoza, in 2021 Hannah Arendt and in 2024/25 Rosa Luxemburg. For the future, Franz Kafka is on the programme. More information: www.phart.nl.
