Poligious Issues

Anvers – Belgique

separation of church and state – the metaphor and the constitution

Poligious Issues, is an international exhibition project developed and curated by the Dutch contemporary artist Ron Weijers for 10dence art collective. The concept for the Poligious Issues project has been positioned on the conflicting co-exsistance of political and religious issues and values within the international governmental climate of this time. Separation of church and state, the secular state as an essential ingredient to be able to create a prosperous and successful multiform and multi-cultural society, has been developed internationally into a hot and problematic issue. The title “Poligious Issues” as a title, has been developed by merging the concept’s basic keywords: politics and religious. Emphasizing the relation of each to the other conceptually. Goal of the Poligious Issues project, is to generate a platform of artistic reflection for the more than 50 participating artists from all over the world and from a large variety of political and religious backgrounds and to stimulate dialogue and discussion related to the concept of the Poligious Issues project that will be programmed for exhibition within the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Bulgaria in 2017.
