Close Up Expo: Who owns the city?

From 5 June to 3 July, the CLOSE-UP Team at VOX-POP presents Who Owns the City? This exhibition explores the entanglement of urban life power, memory, and movement, through artworks that vary from intimate installations to urban interventions. Who Owns the City? invites visitors to consider the layered, and sometimes invisible, forces that shape our experience of the city.
Start date
5 June 2025
End date
3 July 2025
Time
20:00
Location
BG 3
Room
VOX-POP (BG3, ground floor)

We will explore how we inhabit urban spaces and how ownership plays a role. How do we move through a space that isn't quite ours? And why isn't it ours to begin with?  These questions surface in subtle, poetic, and sometimes unexpected ways in the works of our participating artists.  

Artworks 
The exhibition features work by: 

  • Victor Engbers  

  • Mathild Clerc-Verhoeven 

  • Anastasija Pirozenko 

  • Kelly Yang 

  • Bobbi X 

  • Isabel Schoonbeek and Xander Lenders 

Each piece invites a different encounter, such as time, loss, movement, or place, offering glimpses into how cities remember, forget, and transform.

The Close Up Team

VOX-POP's programming is co-hosted by an annually changing group of talented students. Every 6-8 weeks they organize a 'CLOSE UP': evenings in which a social issue is examined by academics, professionals and artists. This year Amara, Elle, Juanita, Lilia, Marije and Nika are eager to provide you with surprising programs where we dive into interesting topics together. Will we meet you during their programmes?
