What gets lost in a translation? What can we learn from unsaid things?
And how is that silenced shaped? What do forgotten words, books, libraries and archives still tell us? Can we liberate ourselves from assumptions and pose questions instead?

Inez Piso is currently the director of artist-in-residence and exhibition space: Hotel Maria Kapel. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Art History from the University of Amsterdam and a Master’s degree from the Universidad Autónoma Madrid. After working four years in the CA2M, Madrid, she moved to Istanbul where she participated in the IKSV Research Programme with the HüzünProject in 2018. She worked for After the Archive? an initiative that gains attention to silenced archives and questions the role of archives in the creation of public memory in Turkey. She likes to curate exhibitions in unexpected spaces, like an archival box that once belonged to Ulises Carrión: No Todo ~ Niet Alles or the public ferry that crosses the waters of Amsterdam for the Amsterdam Ferry Festival. In 2021 she became the artistic director of Hotel Maria Kapel HMK: an exhibition space and an artist-in-residence programme located in a 17th century chapel.

This workshop aims to hack the commercials we pass by in the streets in our daily live without paying attention using the image and text relationship found in comics. They are part of the visual landscape and silently they try to influence us what to buy, how to live, and implement us with standart thoughts.
We will give these advertisements another voice that breaks the initial intention of the commercial. It will be a combination of street poetry, visible critical thought and existing advertisements.
