<p><!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"background"} --></p> <p class="has-background-background-color has-background">What if connection begins with discomfort? And what happens when you don’t avoid that discomfort, but invite it instead? Connection sounds obvious, but it isn’t. You have to want it, dare it, do it. It requires attention. Presence.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"background"} --></p> <p class="has-background-background-color has-background">In the exhibition ‘From the Soul to the Soil’, four artists show how vulnerability can give rise to new forms of closeness. Working with photography, video, textiles, poetry and performance, they place the body at the centre of exploring connection: with ourselves, the earth and each other.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"background"} --></p> <p class="has-background-background-color has-background">The artists explore the frayed edges of being human. They look beyond the surface, embrace discomfort and open up to new conversations and forms of togetherness.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"background"} --></p> <p class="has-background-background-color has-background"><strong>Hystera | Tessa van den Eeden</strong><br />A fusion of costume, artwork, and performance, in which Tessa explores her intimate relationship with the menstrual cycle.
