"To Fear or Not to Fear” exhibit is bringing together
artists from Iraq, Iran, Israel, Northern Ireland, Russia,
Bosnia and the USA, the places that are inflicted with violence
and crisis. It explores deeper humanity that hopes to dispel
notions of clashing civilizations with common ground.
“To Fear or Not to Fear” is a traveling
exhibit examining the ways in which the global media perpetuates
a feeling of fear that permeates all cultures. Through their
artistic processes, the artists also reflect on political
and social change vis-à-vis personal history. The artists
discard simplistic, media driven cultural notions of good
and evil, euphemized as “centuries’ old hatred”
or “clash of civilizations”. Instead the artists
from eight different countries present different viewpoints
on current affairs at home and abroad.
