Conflations
CONFLATIONS

Open March 8-31, 2024
A Conflation is defined as the process of uniting or blending separate objects, texts or ideas.
The world is made up of various opinions, viewpoints, cultures, races, religions, all mixing with each other, and it can sometimes look like there’s not enough space for them all. In tight situations, we perceive that our own point of view might not be the only valid one. To keep existing, one has a choice to encapsulate in one’s own bubble, or to react with violence, or, perhaps, to accept diversity.
Differences can enrich and enliven our world. An attempt at understanding can leave us perplexed, curious, or pleasantly surprised. It is a freeing sensation when we realize that the world is not a monoculture.
In this exhibition, we display the differing layers, analyze their past and future, interactions and fusions.
Part of the programme of the 6th Women’s Nights Film Festival in Rapla.
Opening March 7th at 19.00, with a performance by Simone Fezer.
