Ana Čigon's exhibition

Through humour and symbolism, the exhibition reveals the harsh reality of European migration policy, combining animation, video talks and critical reflection.

The exhibition Catlands Politics, which will run at the Customs House from 16 May 2025 to 21 June 2025, reveals the harsh reality of Europe's exclusive politics through the humorous cat-like symbolism of national flags, state institutions and signage. Filmmaker and visual artist Ana Čigon weaves elements of her latest animation, Catlands, and video interviews in which she discusses refugee policy with female experts. The project will also include workshops and guided tours.
