本次展览名为“Beyond the Gaze|凝视之外”
通过这个展览,我们希望在跨文化和超越刻板印象的语境下,传递一种温暖和亲密感,促使人们思考“自我”与“他者”是如何交织在一起的,以及在数码化背景下跨文化互动如何转变与呈现。
最后,我们想提出这些问题:
In the exhibition titled "Beyond the Gaze," featuring a series of photos from artist Baomei's 12-month journey across Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somaliland, Madagascar, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya. We intend to explore the dialogue in photography that breaks the boundaries between the unfamiliar and the familiar, the photographer(s) and the individual(s) being photographed, posing the question: “Who is the Other now?” We want to invite the audience into this conversation between both ends of the camera.
Through this exhibition, we hope to offer a sense of warmth and intimacy across cultures and beyond the stereotypes, prompting contemplation of how Self and Other intertwine and how cross-cultural interactions shift under digitalization.
In the end, we want to propose these questions: How can we break the walls of stereotypes and prejudices? How can we see behind these walls? How can we draw each other closer? How can we truly see each other?
