The exhibition includes works by around 40 international artists,’ SURVIVAL IN THE 21st CENTURY’ offers a variety of answers to the question of how we want to survive in the 21st century. How can we imagine the future? What can we rediscover from the past for our time? How can cultures be preserved? What influence do technologies have on people in the digital age? How can we see planet Earth in a new light? How will our diet and our coexistence change?

 

The works of art on display do not provide any panaceas or blanket solutions. They question supposed certainties, offer food for thought, and open up new horizons.
