Generosity is the New Political, curated by Lotte Juul Petersen, explores the complex and ambiguous concept of generosity. Rooted within a system that merits symbolic value over market worth, acts of generosity contradict the accepted notion of production and exchange. By challenging the existing structures of contemporary society and by establishing a new level of engagement, Jacques Derrida argued that generosity has the potential to be a political force.
