On Sunday, June 7 at 2 PM, a curator’s tour of the exhibition will take place at Tütar gallery, led by curator Maria Helen Känd.
Curator Maria Helen Känd notes in the exhibition text: “Contemporary Western society is built on the quiet conviction that both the self and the world around us can be managed and regulated. Control promises safety, soothing our fear of the unknown, whereas dependence, entanglement and submission feel oppressive. At the same time, a part of us always remains inaccessible and unconscious. As such, the more we cling to the need for control, the more we rely on conceptions of ourselves and a world that does not actually submit to our will. Safe Traps invites us to reflect on a different logic: one in which the act of control, and our craving for it, reveals itself as the actual trap and the very mechanism that confines us.
The event will be held in Estonian and is free of charge.
