Dec 17 / 31 Jan – 2012 

Michel Foucault once said, “There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, and more passionate than ‘politicians’ think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them.”

Darb 1718 hosted an exhibition on the 17th of December under the theme of “Resistance”. We all cooperated to keep it flowing, flaming and growing! When the available means of liberation are limited; RESISTANCE is the only way!

The exhibition opening was accompanied by a performance by the Italian artist Romina De Novellis.
