    The D20 - modeled after the G20 group of most industrialized nations - is a selective list of leaders from present and recent past, across continents and political systems, who, in some way, represent many people's ideal of strong power - a true power. We call itDickpower.Romancing True Powerinvestigates an idea of power: autocratic, authoritarian and dictatorial; a power present in dictatorships, but that can be found in democracies as well. Theexhibitionis an invitation to re-imagine true power by looking atdicktatorial constructs, their typology and trappings.As eachperson’sDicklist is subjective,at the show we willinvite you to PYOD (Pick Your Own Dick). Who is on your D20 list?
