The exhibition Ties That Bind, open until November 3, presents the work of seven artists, focused on this year’s theme, which aims to “to challenge, untie, and move beyond familial ties. It explores new, meaningful ways to belong, connect, and experience closeness. It imagines new forms of attachment and kinship that could exist beyond familiar social structures, relationships, and species...or grow from within their loopholes.” It challenges and raises “questions, including those that are mischievous, fun, and dissident. It embraces projects that embody fragmented, contradictory, and open constructions of our individual and collective selves.”
The featured artists - Ihar Hancharuk, Sasha Chaika, Angyvir Padilla, Jan Durina, Dev Dhunsi, Sheung Yiu, and Donja Nasseri - were invited to embrace, challenge or rediscover various forms of attachments and connections within different social structures and relationships.
The 2024 Open Call was curated by The Bienal Fotografia do Porto, Fotogalleriet, Fotograf Magazine and Organ Vida Festival.
