Miden travels to Now & After, Moscow

Miden travels to “Now & After 2016: Ecology Without Borders” at the State Darwin Museum in Moscow (22 October 2016 – 29 November 2016), presenting the thematic program “Exoticising/Exoticised“, curated by Sofia Grigoriadou.

In this particular set of videos, exoticism is approached through the gaze: the ways people look at others, the ways they are being looked at and also the ways they return the gaze. Can one stand the exoticized’s look staring back at them? The set raises questions regarding our participation to the reproduction of such relations today, the ways we exoticise, the ways we are being exoticised and the boundaries between the two.
