KADIST Collection - Art as Witness of Social Transformation
The KADIST collection embodies far more than an assembly of contemporary artworks grappling with societal themes pertinent to our era. It is a constellation of ideas, conversations, and connections, all coming together to challenge and connect audiences across different cultures and communities.
While this publication—the first in a series— couldn’t possibly delineate the ever changing contours of this collection, it provides a window into its ethos and its particularities. In the following pages, you’ll find a general introduction to the collection, a personal reflection by KADIST advisor Zoe Butt on collecting initiatives, and staff picks of thirty-one artworks that have joined the collection over the past two decades, each accompanied by texts by advisors and staff members.
