‘Where Are the Roots’ Exhibition
‘Where Are the Roots’ is an exhibition about the society polarization phenomenon, about the obtrusive feeling of the obligement to occupy a single valued position of ins and outs. It is the reflection on the borders of a man’s self-identification as something local, own, the investigation of the locality features.
The feeling of belonging to some cultural, social or political community in this or that degree determines the personality and presupposes a simplified orientation in the environment or social sphere: a human mind creates the markers that allow to differentiate its network. Ins and outs are the simpliest categories that appear on the base of such markers. Or local/non-local, more determined by geography than the values and mind set orientation. But how can one determine a person who during his whole life moves from one place to another, be it a migrant or a refugee? Where does he come from? What is his Motherland, where is his native land? How can he be in/local in a place where he exists? The exhibition space proposes the viewers to think where the borders of these notions go.
