Where existing norms and orientation points become obsolete arise new possibilities for storytelling. With this thought in mind, the group exhibition She, Who Dwells in the Shadows, curated by Kinnari Saraiya, brings together six artistic positions that seek the potential of darkness and obscurity. The show stakes out forms of knowledge found outside official archives, passed down through practices of storytelling, embodiment, and cosmological imagination – from suppressed collective memories, historical blind spots, and myths to forgotten blueprints for alternative worlds. The intention is not to shed light into the darkness but to access it as a space of experience in its own right. In Saraiya’s words: “To dwell in the shadows is to accept multiplicity, to navigate by traces rather than coordinates, and to recognize obscurity as a generative condition for storytelling.”
