“I am attracted to ellipsis, to the unsaid, to suggestion, to eloquent deliberate silence …”
Louise Glück in her 1995 essay “Disruption, Hesitation, Silence”

The group exhibition features work from artists in authoritarian and democratic countries and is a joint reflection on censorship and repressive mechanisms at play. It dwells on the issues of self-censorship, power dynamics and things we often don’t say or simply can’t.

The works on display in the exhibition speak of the aesthetic power of erasures, actively transforming them to take control over actions that could leave one feeling powerless. Through photography, textiles, video, poetry, paintings, and installations the artists turn these enforced silences and erasures into thought-provoking, bold, artistic statements and offer space for public debate and intimate exchange.

Immersive Dance Performance | What’s Dance Got To Do With It
Experience an innovative dance takeover at Toni-Areal during the opening of the ZHdK Diploma Show. Choreographed by Rebeka Mondovics, dancers will lead viewers through a captivating journey across unexpected spaces within the venue, enabling a dynamic spectatorship that expands the traditional notions of dance performance. The performance will be accompanied by a live music trio, led by Violist Theresa Burggaller. Through this format, the performers will revise modes of image fetishism and the male gaze situated on the art historical motif of the Three Graces, reclaiming the idea of femininity and the female form through their own embodied practice.
