In our fascinating but unfortunately harsh and unfair world, it can be difficult to cope with
situations or conditions that force us to confront our own and other’s vulnerability. Such
situations can be overwhelming or leave us feeling powerless.
The exhibition Crying until laughing brings together artists for whom humour is a catalyst to push beyond normative limitations and our perceived realities. These artists work with topics going from the everyday humdrum to geopolitics, from the simple embarrassment of blushing to the corporate imposed interests in our body and wellbeing, from the overwhelming pressures of social media to the burdens of having to succeed in life. They touch upon complex matters that most of us deal with.
