Ties That Bind - Exhibition in Prague

The exhibition Ties that Bind opens on October 4 at the Holešovice Market, Hall 11A, in Prague, the last destination after Zagreb and Porto.

The exhibition explores the shifting forms of relationality, belonging, and closeness. Through the works of Dev Dhunsi, Sasha Chaika, Ihar Hancharuk, Donja Nasseri and Sheung Yiu, it examines the ways in which traditional notions of family, identity, and social structures can be re-evaluated and reshaped. Rather than fixed categories, it offers space for open-ended, often contradictory or temporary forms of bonds that form between people, places, and species. 

The presented works navigate between personal experience and broader cultural and political contexts. Language, the body, memory, and imagination are presented through photography, installation, text, and performative elements as means of creating bonds as well as disrupting them.The exhibition thus raises questions about what new forms of closeness we can envision and whether it is possible to form relationships beyond established frameworks or at least momentarily challenge these boundaries. 

The development of the theme and the selection was curated by the institutions Bienal Fotografia do Porto, Fotogalleriet, Fotograf Zone, and Organ Vida Festival. Ties That Bind exhibition in Prague is curated by Světlana Malina.
