But you, yourself, with your own hand must open this door
02 Mar, 2024 - 19 May, 2024
But you, yourself, with your own hand must open this door, after a line from the poem Dera magjike (鈥淭he Magic Door鈥�) written by the Yugoslavian poet, Mira Ale膷kovi膰 in the 1940s, is dedicated to a generation of young artists who live in Kosovo and Albania or whose origins can be traced back to these countries. Although these two countries are united by a common language and shared traditions, they are also constituents of a larger geographical region with a complex and conflict-laden history characterised by ethnic, cultural and political differences. How do contemporary questions of identity and belonging play out in this geopolitical context and what can we learn from it? The exhibition presents works by artists born in the early 1990s who strive to contribute to the shaping of the future while dealing with our fragile present, which is currently once more defined and riven by a mindset of division.
