San Francisco, USA – We are excited to announce that the “Looted” project has received a generous San Francisco Arts Commission grant. This funding will facilitate the search for a suitable venue to bring the thought-provoking multimedia installation to San Francisco, USA. The project’s organizers are working diligently to secure an exhibition space, and an official announcement regarding the venue is expected later this year or in early 2024.
The San Francisco Arts Commission’s support is a significant step forward in realizing the goal of raising awareness about the historical pillaging of artwork during wartime and colonization. “Looted” explores the impact of art pillaging on cultural heritage, and with this grant, the project aims to reach a broader audience and foster dialogue about this crucial topic.
As the project progresses and plans for the San Francisco exhibition take shape, further updates will be announced on our website and through official channels. We encourage everyone interested in “Looted” to stay connected with us to receive the latest news and developments.
