In Search of the Present: On Rootlessness is an exploration of the now, an invitation to be present both in time and in place. The exhibition delves into art’s ability to ground us, even when the world we inhabit is in constant motion.
At its heart, the exhibition reflects on the lived experience of rootlessness and the search for belonging. It includes immersive, large-scale installations alongside more intimate works that ask what it means to look for a physical or emotional place in an era marked by uncertainty, mobility, and disconnection. The works approach these themes from multiple perspectives: some explore the restlessness of moving between places and identities or examine the societal conditions that produce rootlessness, while others reflect on belonging as a deeply human need and gently invite connection with the present moment – and with each other.
