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.

Are we able to navigate the complex, and possibly denser than ever, intersection between identity politics and identitarian movements in today’s Europe? Are the images we are creating, producing and disseminating able to actually say something about us, our sense of belonging, and our chances to access the possibility of We?

Visual culture and photography in particular have contributed enormously to the shaping of our ideas around identity and belonging, who we are, and what is defined as 'We'.

Presenting FM64 Extremes

In the online series Zooming In, we bring together the Foam Talents of 2021. Through a series of online Zoom talks, we aim to learn more about the different projects and how they connect to each other.

This Summer, we dive deeper into Foam Talent 2021 by pairing up the selected artists in an online Zoom conversation. Each of the three events will be divided into two parts. The first part introduces the artists and their projects, focussing on their approach and motivation. After this, we take a closer look at the topics connecting the artists' work, aiming to contextualize their series within the photography field as well as current discourses in society. Each conversation will feature special guests to share their unique perspectives and reflections.
EPISODE 3: ON BELONGING Foam Talents:&nbsp;Delali Ayivi, Sol&egrave;ne G&uuml;n Special guest:&nbsp;Erika Larsson Moderation&nbsp;by: Hinde Haest Date: 25 Augustus 2021, 18:30 - 20.00 hrs CET

Photographers Delali Ayivi and Solene G&uuml;n reflect on the concept of home, which can be both a shelter and a prison, especially in times of quarantine. Placing the focus on topics such as identity, place, marginalisation and constructions of the self, they question what it means (not) to belong. Both do so from the perspective of their personal family histories of migration.
Special guest Erika Larsson&nbsp;has a postdoc position at Valand Academy&nbsp;in Gothenburg, together with the Hasselblad Foundation, researching contemporary photographers&rsquo; and artist&rsquo;s engagements with the interwar period. She also lectures on photography theory and globalisation in relation to visual culture.

Zooming In: On Belonging

Photography is a powerful tool that plays an important role in constructing cultural identity. <a href="/book-a-visit/public/zooming-in-photography-performance-and-the-mythical/21-07-2021">Sign up</a> to join us on 21 July for a Zoom conversation with Foam Talents Plantation (Ayomide Tejuoso) and Lisandro Suriel, along with artist-archivist Angela N. Carroll.

This Summer, we dive deeper into Foam Talent 2021 by pairing up the selected artists in an online Zoom conversation. Each of the three events will be divided into two parts. The first part introduces the artists and their projects, focussing on their approach and motivation. After this, we take a closer look at the topics connecting the artists' work, aiming to contextualize their series within the photography field as well as current discourses in society. Each conversation will feature special guests to share their unique perspectives and reflections.
EPISODE 2: PHOTOGRAPHY, PERFORMANCE AND THE MYTHICAL Foam Talents: Plantation (Ayomide Tejuoso) and Lisandro Suriel Special guest: Angela N. Carroll Date: 21 July 2021, 18:30 - 20.00 hrs CET
Photography is a powerful tool that&nbsp;plays an important role in constructing cultural identity.&nbsp;Questions on its influence on the viewer&rsquo;s perception, bias, and thoughts contribute to an important&nbsp;discussion on representation. Plantation (Ayomide Tejuoso) and Lisandro Suriel have developed unique approaches weaving photography, performance and mysticism, offering a visual exploration of identity and belonging.
In their practices, both artists relate to the metaphysical and integrate performance into their work processes. Centring on the body of the artist, Plantation (Ayomide Tejuoso)&rsquo;s work is about finding her space in the world to reflect on issues like sexism, racism, and homophobia. Lisandro Suriel&rsquo;s project Ghost Island stems from his research on forgotten histories in Saint Martin and combines academia and indigenous knowledge to create new imaginary.&nbsp;
In their own ways and rooted in their individual cultural backgrounds, both artists contribute to a more expansive visual representation of Black identity. Together with Angela N. Carroll, artist-archivist and investigator of art history and culture, Plantation (Ayomide Tejuoso) and Lisandro Suriel will share insights into their artistic processes, research and the context of their work.
