Stories of Light and Darkness: Exhibition Opening "Wonders in the Shadows"

Opened by an artistic performance and by remarks of humanitarian Mattia Bidoli on the exhibition “Wonders in the Shadows”. His exhibition becomes a starting point for a broader conversation about what connects us in times of crisis: This session creates a space for open and vulnerable exchange. It explores how art can cross borders, connect experiences and remind us of the emotions and experiences we share, especially in the most difficult of times such as war and crises. In an open fishbowl format, voices from Ukraine, the Caucasus, Middle East and beyond join Mattia’s experiences ranging from Ukraine to Greece, Türkiye and Gaza. They come together to share their stories of light and darkness, of solidarity and human connection amid conflicts. The audience is invited to become part of the exchange and thus a shared experience.
