The exhibition uses the past as an aid to explore various narratives of visual expression. An important feature is how we need to rely on our memory when it comes to past experiences and how remembering becomes a coping mechanism, both for individuals and communities. The passage of time is not seen as a linear continuum, but as a current in which local and global conditions intertwine. The undertone is determined by Finland's location and the historical events that took place during its independence in the particular geopolitical junction.
