Mountains, burial sites, rivers, cities, rye fields, hills, a plain flooded with beach sand, the ocean… Greenery, greenery covered with marble-grey hues, greenish-blue reflecting shades of yellow, green, brown, a distant, lonely blue… In these winding valleys – in these segments of parabolas – a vast and compelling, all-consuming transformation is taking place. A transformation influenced by humanity. In these parabola valleys, the chain reaction of ecosystem disintegration unfolds. In these valleys, skyscrapers rise, houses decay and collapse, inhabitants, animals and plants migrate in interconnected chains. At the very beginning of these chains, battles take place between individuals, and wars erupt between different human cultures. Geopolitical wars, fueled by the ideologies of different nations, driven by greed, industrial interests and technological advancements…

The exhibition introduces participating artists from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Norway, with a particularly emphasis on Ukrainian artists. It reflects on themes such as war, migration, the discourse of colonialism and imperialism that spans several centuries and its profound consequences for humanity; territorial security; forced migration, trauma, and historical and cultural memory; the preservation of cultural identity; ecology and climate change. The exhibition contemplates historical events that, in certain ways, are repeating themselves today.
