Dressing is never neutral. It is a negotiation shaped by fear, desire, memory, and refusal. In this
exhibition, clothing becomes a strategy of survival, not performance, but a lived response to systems
of control.

Through photography, sculpture, and text, I Dress, Therefore I Disrupt explores the politics of
appearance under postmigrant conditions. The garments are not curated for spectacle; they emerge
from daily life, from moving through checkpoints, institutions, and borders. Dressing becomes a
tactical act: to signal or obscure, to pass or to resist. Drawing on Édouard Glissant’s notion of
opacity, the right not to be fully known, I refuse the demand for clarity. I do not dress to be
understood. I dress to remain complex, to inhabit presence on my own terms.

ALQUMIT ALHAMAD @alqumit
Alqumit Alhamad (b. 1992, Jerash) is a Syrian artist based in Sweden. He received a Master’s degree in Fine Art from HDK Valand in Gothenburg, Sweden (2024), a degree in Visual Communication from Östra Grevie Folkhögskola, Sweden (2022), and a
Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and animation from the Aleppo University of Fine and Applied Arts in Syria (2014). He is currently based in Gothenburg and has exhibited in Sweden and internationally, including in the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, the United States, and Syria. His process is shaped by his lived experiences of being a war refugee, cultural dislocation, and identity. His work explores themes such as rootlessness, diaspora, war trauma, and memory.

 

EVANGELIA (EVA) DIMITRAKOPOULOU @d_mtrk

Evangelia (Eva) Dimitrakopoulou (b. Athens, Greece) is a London-based sculptor and multimedia artist whose work explores themes of Otherness, disconnection, and care. Their sculptural installations combine olfactory, edible, and sensory elements to engage viewers in immersive, participatory experiences.
Their installations engage the senses with soundscapes and scents, transforming familiar objects and settings into eerie, unrecognizable manifestations that prompt audiences to navigate intricate, unpredictable systems.

Eva holds an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London, and an MFA and BA in Sculpture from Athens School of Fine Arts. They were the 2020-2021 recipient of the Goldsmiths ACME Early Career Award.

 

NINA MOULIN & TONI STAKENKÖTTER @ninanoutchka @gin_tonia

Since Toni and Nina met in 2021 during a workshop in Aix-en-Provence as part of their studies,
they have been working together as a Franco-German artist duo.

With painterly and installation-based interventions, they create dreamy spaces to reflect on domesticity and artistic clichés. Their work as a duo is fundamentally linked to their trust in each other, the
way they talk and exchange about art, the sharing of ideas, the describing, reshaping and layering
of their images.
