The exhibition "Strangers I Know: Remapping Emotional Landscapes" seeks to challenge conventional notions of identity as a fixed entity tied to documents and national ideas. The curator contends that each person's identity is a fluid and ever-changing terrain shaped by affective experiences. The exhibition transforms the space into a map of 'emotional landscapes,' of the artists from various mediums and diverse cultural backgrounds, fostering transcultural dialogue and exploring the curator's own conflicted identity bridging Ukraine and Russia. The result is an intimate and evocative setting that functions as a spatial map, encouraging the audience to wander and explore diverse sensory perceptions. This relational aspect allows the audience to connect with artists' affective landscapes and map their own inner emotional journeys. In a time where numerous voices advocate for borders and suspicion grows toward those unlike ourselves, the exhibition becomes a crucial and timely exploration of the vastness and potentiality of human experience.

Finissage: 13.01.2024, 4pm-11pm
