Juxtaposing it with the poetry of Wisława Szymborska, who depicts war through everyday life, opens up a reflection on what history reveals and what it omits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe starting point was a personal attempt to learn about the story of a woman murdered in 1945. Divergent sources, unclear facts, and uncertainty about her origins raised questions about the right to form bonds with someone we know only through fragments of information. This search revealed how changeable and susceptible to manipulation memory can be, especially in the context of increasingly frequent attempts to politically appropriate the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe invited artists (\u003cstrong\u003eDominika Kowynia, Anna Jarosz, Dorota Nieznalska, Monika Drożyńska, Izabella Gustowska and Joanna Piotrowska\u003c\/strong\u003e) refer to memory, identity, and everyday experiences, especially those related to women. In their works, they address issues of moral ambiguity, women's history, violence, national symbolism, the nature of memory, and emotional fragility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, they create a story about how personal and collective narratives intertwine, how the past influences the present, and how easy it is to succumb to the temptation of adding meaning to stories that can no longer defend themselves.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"node-application__images\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"node-application__images-inner container-max container-max--small\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-alpha align-center mb-60 mt-40\"\u003ePerspectives - 48 Stunden Neukölln\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"align-center mb-60 field-bodyy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 venues | 7 exhibitions | 8 curators | 42 artists\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerspectives 2026 brings togeth­er seven exhibitions by emerging curators across five venues, prob­ing the annual theme OUT\/SIDE\/IN in diverse registers. From auto­theory and collective archives to bodies as borderlands, diasporic cartographies, post human cre­ation and the leak as productive permeability, the projects stage situations where inside and out­side intertwine. They interrogate belonging, memory, authorship and power—not as binaries but as porous fields where identity shifts, is negotiated and remade.
