What constitutes one's personal or collective identity?
Where do I/we belong? How does change affect the traditional concept of home in the age of homelessness, uprootedness, new forms of nomadism, traveling, and fast Internet communication? Can culture be domesticated? Is there still a specific collective/national experience and memory? 

:: Are contemporary art and culture globalized with such distinctions and specificities that they lose their significance?

:: Do we maintain a shared human experience that we instinctually long to express and share? 

:: Are we simultaneously distinct and yet similar? 

– Debra A. Davis, Curator - Martina Pachmanová, Co-Curator
