POSH

2R8A0796 copy

A touring exhibition to promote a better image over rich people

By UNPLUSH & JAWIS

UNPLUSH and JAWIS bring together performance and music, to create POSH, an exhibition with the aim to promote the lifestyle and justify the existence of a high-class society. It is constructed of different installations, confronting the audience with an ironic view on what our society legitimates.
