From misunderstandings to uncertainties, anguish swells and defense mechanisms are erected. In the face of current events, stress mounts and distress spreads. Welcome to the reign of distrust. Entrenched behind inflexible and unshakeable convictions, padded in our echo chamber, our capacity to listen is reduced. We abandon dialogue, we embrace consensus, we isolate ourselves.
And nothing is getting better: discord is growing, rifts are widening to extremes, and hatred is showing its nefarious face. In the world of the worst, humans forget themselves, shadows triumph and reality fades.
The exhibition Sabotage - The Power of Discord questions this unbearable inevitability by presenting portraits of anarchist activists from another century, imperfect and fragmented, who remind us of our own humanity, fragile and deceptive. It invites introspection, it urges debate, it strives for us to explore new perspectives, to learn, and unlearn.
