SALA 2023 Exhibition- The Price of Freedom
28 July 2023 @ 10:00 am - 25 August 2023 @ 4:30 pm
SALA 28 July-25 August, Opening Night 4 August
Freedom is not a given or a constant.
Historically, and especially now, it has to be fought for, secured and defended.
This exacts a heavy toll for individuals, communities or countries: from displacement and loss of ‘normal’ daily living, to the horrible loss of life and human potential. The struggle for freedom can eventually lead to triumph, forming new national identities and forging new ways of life. The legends and stories born of the struggle for freedom become part of storytelling passed through cultural heritage from generation to generation.
Today we are witness to the fight for freedom that is unfolding in several countries around the world: Ukraine, Georgia, Iran, Afghanistan, Nepal, as well as the on-going fight for the freedom of speech and the right for self-determination.
“The price of freedom” is seeking to explore these themes in a group exhibition.
