Workshop for Teenagers: Of Fears, Hopes and Actions

Finissage: Tuesday, 10/12/2024
The works in this exhibition move in the field of tension between fears, dreams, hopes and actions. To what extent can we delve deeper into the origins of our fears and negative energies, give them a concrete form and develop strategies to use them as a resource? The artistic contributions aim to create movement - they reflect on paralyzing emotions, recurring fears, possible scope for action and the process of self-empowerment.
The prints Digging for Shades explore fears, nightmares, dreams and memories - inspired by narratives from different generations and epigenetic perspectives. At the same time, Somos Semillas multimedia objects in space deal intensively with moments of hope and new possibilities for action. The video work Poetic Anxious Memories combines these thoughts, stories and interpretations into a multi-layered picture.
