In the spotlight
Video: the power of protest on camera
Art that speaks, challenges, and moves you. That is PROTEST, an exhibition featuring 24 international video artworks exploring the power of resistance and activism. This remarkable exhibition is on display until 16 November 2025 at the former Jeanne d’Arc College in Maastricht. Maastricht University is proud to support this project. The theme could not be more relevant, and the exhibition is both artistically and conceptually strong. Students also have the opportunity to gain professional experience by working as gallery attendants or as part of the education team. Within our teaching too, PROTEST serves as a source of inspiration for discussion and critical reflection.
In this video, Bart van den Boom – initiator and Maastricht University alumnus – and PhD candidate and lecturer Pieter du Plessis explain how PROTEST brings together art, education and society. Watch it now!
