A photography exhibition held at the Sixth National Dialogues Conference in Finland/Espoo 11.-13.6.2024 together with Nyata Shapovalova.
"In the middle of crisis, desperation, and desolation, there is also an alternative story, the story of hope, solidarity, forgiveness, and care often hidden in the dailiness of life - the small details of every day.
This exhibition zooms in on these details, in which the seeds of peace are hidden and hope and recovery arise. Although the exhibition makes visible one individual story about war, peace, and beyond, this individuality also reflects the whole range of political, social, collective, and mental consequences of war, escape, and migration.
The exhibition was inspired by a research project that investigates different experiences of peace and war. The research focuses on the lived reality through visual and narrative self-expression, using photography as a research method."
