Opening of the exhibition Constellations of Multiple Wishes: Along the Eastern Horizon

Constellations of Multiple Wishes: Along the Eastern Horizon focuses on deliberations on other Easts, beyond past colonial divisions, historical narratives and political alliances. Instead of dwelling in nostalgia and things lost in the currents of history, the works on the exhibition demand and seek out alternative routes, networks, railroads, and constellations. Setting up a dialog among archival materials, existing works and contemporary commissions, the works in this exhibition explore past imaginaries and words yet to be enacted, trace shared experiences, consider relationships and borderlines that have since been dissolved and that continue to displace. Laced with poetic interventions, they move through failure and absurdity, anxiety and solidarity, and hope and resistance. They do this by centering on the multiple Easts, their histories, narratives of building, and utopian visions of the future, while giving space to the voices that could not be heard lately.

Artists: Ala Younis, Alia Farid, Basim Magdy, Essa Grayeb, Free Palestine Poster Project, KURS (Miloš Miletić & Mirjana Radovanović), Larry Achiampong, Mona Rouhana Benyamin, Nika Autor, The Non-Aligned Art Collection Laboratory (Omar Bsoul, Kareem Dabbah, Inji Efflatoun, Mamdouh Kashlan, Choukri Mesli, Khudhair Shakirji)
