Good to know
This project is based on some fundamental values.
MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING versus misunderstanding: The exhibition aims to explore the complex dynamics between different regions of the world, with an emphasis on promoting understanding and combating stereotypes.
SOLIDARITY: This theme emphasizes the need for a collective effort to build a world that favors peaceful coexistence over conflict, integrating lessons from colonial history.
PEACE: In response to war propaganda and the dehumanization of “the other”, the project advocates a critical view of all parties involved, including the role of the West in world conflicts.
