Ahmet Ogut's installation, Bakunin's Barricade, encapsulates the need for civil disobedience and protection of public demonstrations, especially amid political unrest.
In June, the Stedelijk Museum refused an activist group's request to use Bakunin's Barricade, claiming the conditions of the acquisition hadn’t been met.
The Not Surprised Collective argues that the Stedelijk's decision showed a misunderstanding of the installation’s intended purpose during critical political movements.
Ogut emphasized that the original intent of Bakunin's Barricade was to serve as a protective symbol against state violence during protests, especially concerning human rights.
