They Began to Talk
They Began to Talk is an international group exhibition concerned with the speech of the body, taking the intertwinement of the body and the environment as its point of departure. Through the work of primarily contemporary artists, the exhibition asks: How does art enable us to cultivate a sense of connection in an era of drastic environmental change and inequality? How do experiences and knowledge migrate through generations? How do we remember, as the current generation, when what has been passed on to us is silence? Somatic perception and imagination play important roles in these processes.
