‘Wulo’ exhibition presents a body of works that are processes and outcomes of ongoing artistic research focused on the concept and practices of mourning, as a layered aesthetic, pedagogical, and political language.

In one way or another, each of us has been impacted by precarious socio-political conditions, both in the past and the present, that should make us potential candidates to imagine coming together based on vulnerability and loss. Despite differences, individuals and communities share a common thread that binds us through the shared experience of loss, allowing us to connect to a different sense of ‘We’. The fundamental element here is the acknowledgment of the tenuousness of this ‘We’, that requires collective responsibility and responsiveness.

The exhibition includes diverse process-driven and multidisciplinary artworks, such as installation art, video, sound, interactive art with bodily experiences, woodcuts, and multimedia artworks. As an integral part of the exhibition, a workshop will be organized, fostering a communal space where individuals can come together to engage in collective dialogues and practices with mourning. This collaborative workshop aims to intertwine our diverse perspectives and emotions, weaving them into a collective journey toward a deeper understanding of our shared socio-political conditions.

The title of the exhibition and the workshop is ’Wulo,’ adapted from a mourning tradition that fosters a coming together to collectively address suppressed or postponed grief.
