โซ๏ธWhat layers of memory remain inscribed in place?
โซ๏ธWhere does locality begin to reform itself?
โซ๏ธWho speaks through the fault lines?
The exhibition begins at the site of ruptureโwhere traces accumulate, identities overlap, and meanings slip through fractured ground. Here, locality is not fixed geography but layered terrain: eroded, displaced, and recomposed.
Rather than restoring place as origin, the participating artists engage in acts of recompositionโthrough sensation, memory, language, and material. In their work, rupture no longer signals collapse but becomes a generative frontier.
