Still from Northern Winds with Jonathas de Andrade - Ammodo Docs

With my art projects, I approach people that historically experience oppression in many different ways. But still, their culture, their tradition, their way of keeping knowledge alive: they represent resistance in many ways.,

Northern Winds: Jonathas de Andrade’ Fascination with Jangadeiros

Aby Fulani

"Every age has its great loss – for modernism, it was the coherence of the self; for postmodernism, the stability of master narratives – and now, in the 21st century, there is an increasing pressure on the notion of a shared reality."

A still from Wild Encounters, 2023

"At a certain point I lost track of you. 
They make a desolation and call it peace. 
when you left even the stones were buried: 
the defenceless would have no weapons." 

"When the ibex rubs itself against the rocks, 
who collects its fallen fleece from the slopes? 
O Weaver whose seems perfectly vanished, 
who weighs the hairs on the jeweller’s balance?"

"If only somehow you could have been mine, 
what would not have been possible in the world?" 

‘In the lake the arms of temples and mosques are locked in each other’s reflections.  
Have you soaked saffron to pour on them when they are found like this  
centuries later in this country  
I have stitched to your shadow?’

Mardin, September 2020 

The recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have left an enormous number of people, families, and communities in urgent need of assistance. Given Foam’s longstanding collaboration with Turkish artists, institutions and communities through the ongoing Kısmet project, we are committed to supporting those affected by these devastating events. We therefore support the 'Pictures for Purpose' print sale fundraiser, featuring works by 39 artists with proceeds going to two volunteer organisations working locally: AHBAP and White Helmets. We spoke to artist Olgaç Bozalp (Foam Talent and part of Kısmet) about his contribution to the fundraiser.

Pictures for Purpose

Though almost half a century has passed since the Franco Dictatorship (1939-1975) ended in Spain, the wounds this period left behind are very much open. Young imagemakers, born after the death of Francisco Franco, address this complicated collective past in their work. In this article, we explore the topic through the work of three contemporary artists. One of them is Bebe Blanco Agterberg, whose work was exhibited in Foam 3H.

I was taught that photography is inherent with truth. A picture could be constructed, but it could not lie. When I start learning to take pictures something about this perception changed. (...)  I started to see all
the gaps where manipulation in and around
the image could appear and how this could
effect people’s memories.

You are what you eat! Food is not only a basic need, it is deeply intertwined with most aspects of our lives — as individuals and communities. Foam Magazine #63: FOOD! The Nourishing Issue looks at what we are made of, focusing on the ways food drives us apart, brings us together and moves us further — all at the same time.
