“Love Thy Heroes" is a 3-days-exhibition with DJ sets, an open-mic, sound bathing and poetry performances ▬▬ THEME ▬▬ Are you a hero? Someone who wears a mask and a cape? Or someone who simply stops hiding, who walks into a room as exactly who they are, without asking for permission first? Heroism has no fixed shape. It can be quiet, a presence that holds a room without needing to fill it. It can just as easily be loud, scattered, too much, too bright, everywhere at once. There is no script to follow, no rule to obey. Only an ideal to uphold and staying true to that. Love Thy Heroes is an exhibition and a celebration of that heroism, in whatever form it takes. Not the hero built on conquest, but the one built on presence: soft or scattered, still or everywhere at once. To exist without apology, to claim a colour, a voice, a way of moving through the world, however many directions it moves in: this too is a form of heroism, one that asks for no applause and needs none. Here, every body writes its own myth, every desire its own legend, every excess its own kind of grace. The exhibition brings together four visual artists, whose paintings and drawings give form to these other heroes: figures without capes, without conquests, without a single fixed silhouette. Antiheroes, ordinary bodies made legendary, tenderness and defiance held in the same hand, restraint and excess held in the other. Through their work, each artist asks the same question in a different language: what being a hero means? and who gets to decide? ▬▬ MUSICAL PROGRAMME▬▬ Friday: 19:00 Doors open 21:00-23:00 Blue Era 23:00- late &RY.
