Me and the Ark, Me and the Great Flood
Inspired by a contemporary interpretation of Nasimi鈥檚 philosophy, the group exhibition presents sculptures, installations and audiovisual projects commissioned by YARAT by Azerbaijani artists Tarlan Gorchu and Orkhan Huseynov, and artists Mladen Milyanovic (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Pavla Nikitina (Czech Republic). The exhibition also features new projects, as well as works in various media by Mykhailo Alekseyenko, Volodymyr Budnikov and Vlada Ralko (Ukraine), Rimas Sakalauskas (Lithuania), Natalia Vatsadze (Georgia), Ali bey Huseynzade, Salim Turan and Elturan Mammadov (Azerbaijan).
In the 14th century, Seyid Imadaddin Nasimi wrote, 鈥淎ll the world is human.鈥� His philosophy states that every person perceives reality through the prism of their own experience, shaping the world around them. Each of us perceives reality through the lens of personal experience, and with every individual鈥檚 passing, an entire world鈥攐ne that existed uniquely within their consciousness鈥攃eases to exist. This underscores our responsibility not only for ourselves but also for the world we shape through our actions and the choices we make.
Nasimi鈥檚 words, 鈥淚 am the watcher and the watched, I am both light and darkness, old and young,鈥� take on new relevance in the digital age, where social networks blur the boundaries between the individual and the collective. The ability to speak for oneself and the growing awareness of identity in all its diverse facets bring the issue of respecting boundaries鈥攂oth personal and international鈥攖o the forefront. The right to dignity and sovereignty foregrounds processes of inclusion and decolonization. Nasimi's voice is among the factors that provide support, inspiration, and hope in this context, as well as undermine colonial hierarchies built on knowledge.
