* * * * * * * * * * * * * * The exhibition focuses on emotions amid
the tension between multiple contemporary crises and an increasingly polarised
political climate. It responds to a situation in which systemic extraction,
political manipulation, and enforced self-repression collide with the
basic need for fulfilment, happiness, and hope.
The artworks on display reflect on the formation of emotional maturity
through upbringing, education and social norms. They explore ways how
anxiety can be addressed, empathy fostered, loss overcome and hostile
forces resisted. Moreover, they articulate the urgency of collective healing,
mutual care, and sustaining hope in uncertain times—while recognising
quiet resilience, small everyday gestures that surface in the cracks of
the system.
