Programmatic focus

As an art venue, Odapark is there to propose alternatives and spark imagination. In a debate of harsh contradictions, it is up to us to point out the subtle nuances the world has to offer. To speculate on all the possible futures that can be imagined. To show how fiction is sometimes more dangerous than reality, but how imagination can also bring people together.
Our visitors come from all social backgrounds and come from all possible political colours. So our mission is as clear as it is complex: How do we do this together? How can we turn negative energy and fear of the unknown into positive energy that allows for unexpected perspectives and solutions? How do you bring opposite perspectives in touch with each other?
How do you allow each one to be respected? How do you give a voice to those who don't feel heard? But also: How do you present an artistically ambitious programme without losing the approachable atmosphere of the venue? We not only bear responsibility for an exhibition or artistic programme, but just as much care for the park and its community.
