Concept

This collaboration happened because organizers wanted to enable (visual) artists to present their works to the public in a non-traditional way. The artworks are displayed online instead in a gallery space or a museum. It is important for the organizers that displayed artwork is related to socially relevant topics. This aims to highlight specific topics in public life and encourage the viewer to think critically about those topics. The organizers also want to give a whole new life to the artworks that, after the closing of the exhibition at which they were presented, became inaccessible to interested public.
