    -Cost: €5 per person at the event
    -Ages 18+
    -Minimum 15 attendees
    -Spouses, dates, and friends are welcome to attend but must be included in the RSVP through Wild Apricot

    For More Details on the Exhibit:
    Fear begins as a subtle prick deep in the mind, yet quickly rises to the surface, becoming an impulse — to run, to freeze, or to strike first. In a world marked by fractures, invisible systems of control, and persistent stereotypes, fear both paralyzes and exposes us.

    Zoja’s paintings, echoing the dramatic intensity of the European Baroque tradition, speak of solitude and inner darkness. Deniss works with digital technologies, electronic waste, mirrored mechanisms, and living kombucha cultures — searching for a language to express isolation. During the creation of the exhibition, Nature unexpectedly emerged as a co-author, revealing forms and images within organic forest mushroom structures.

    The exhibition invites you to encounter your own fears and to imagine what remains when anxiety recedes. What becomes visible in a space freed from fear?
