Foam and MAQAM proudly present the group exhibition Icoon, developed in collaboration with the city council of Amsterdam. The works in the exhibition are created by eight young talents, produced during a five-part workshop series and launched with a publication under the same name.
Renowned professionals such as Dana Lixenberg, Linda van Deursen and Zeinab El Bouni collaborated closely with the participants and guided them in making autonomous work. This resulted in a collection of inspiring stories and images reflecting the diversity and power of everyday icons.
Join us for the free public opening and book launch of Icoon on 11 April from 18.30 hrs. In addition to the opening of the exhibition, we will celebrate the launch of the same-titled publication documenting the workshops in which eight participants engaged in photographic and writing assignments, guided by photographer Dana Lixenberg and word-artist Zeinab el Bouni.
