This exhibition brings together artists from across the globe whose personal and collective memories are continually on the move and who make those memories accessible to everyone. Their works encourage you to think and act more openly in the here and now, precisely because they question and unsettle closed forms of thought. What does it mean to carry different memories—and even traumas—within you, experiences that hold personal as well as social significance and that have the potential to transform you when you receive these narratives with care and understanding? In works that are poetic, finely attuned, contemplative, critical, but also expansive and at times playfully ambiguous, the artists convey a central insight: being human has always meant leaving the familiar behind, reexamining the stories we inherit, and opening ourselves to what is new and unknown.
