Stan Douglas: ISDN at Serralves

On view 29 May 2024–12 Jan 2025. Centred on the film ISDN (initially conceived for the 59th Venice Biennale), the exhibition presents a vibrant dialogue between different cultures and social movements, portrayed via a fictional musical performance between rappers from London and Cairo, whose verses address key issues such as race, class, love, identity, and justice.

In addition to the film, the exhibition also includes two large-format photographs inspired by crucial moments of social change in the turbulent year of 2011, which continue to reverberate today.
