Artist Meet and Exhibition Tour: The Table

On Thursday 19 November, Homecoming Gallery hosts an artist-guided tour of The Table, group exhibition at Frederiksplein 45.

With Carlota Guerrero,Yumna Al-Arashi, Javed Akhtar, Linnea Skoglösa, Wiebke Mertens, Florence Reekie, Alejandro de Javaloyas, Gvantsa Jishkariani, Leslie Bertho and more.

This exhibition began on a walk in the dunes, in conversation with a friend at PAX -a Dutch peace organisation- who has spent a decade pushing tech leaders to embed basic human rights into the systems they build.

Right now, roughly five seats at the table matter most. Five men -billionaire tech entrepreneurs running leading AI systems -deciding what the future of human civilisation will look like. Moving faster than they can grasp. Faster than the rest of us can respond. And in that speed, the most urgent questions -about rights, dignity, who this future is actually for- are being left behind.

The Table begins here. With the question of who gets a seat, who sets the menu -and the rest of us standing outside.

But there is another table. The one people have been breaking bread around for as long as we have been human. This one belongs to no one. It cannot be owned, tokenised, or scaled. Our artist dinners show what happens when people gather with a shared love for art: a particular openness emerges -a willingness to sit with complexity, to meet a different viewpoint with curiosity rather than judgment. At a time when so many remain locked inside their own funnels, that has become quietly radical.

The works move between the political and the domestic, the systemic and the intimate -between who decides our collective future and how we take care of each other in the present.

We are not offering answers. We are setting a place.
