International Exhibition · London, 1−4 August 2024

Children don’t question a fairy tale. Any paradox feels natural for a child, as they don’t have a settled vision of reality. But most adults do. We put in a great deal of effort and go through a lot to form this vision and live by it.

While a classical fairy tale tends to teach us about morality, sacrifice, and heroic acts of saving others, we recently seek to learn how to stay healthy in relationships and save ourselves. Looking back to get reacquainted with the old, beloved fairy tales, how would we feel about them now?

A group of artists from different countries and cultural backgrounds have come together to reflect on fairy tales.
