Programme
Lucy’s Handbag
“Inspired by The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction by Ursula K. Le Guin, the exhibition reimagines the way stories are built — not as straight lines leading to triumph, but as gatherings, receptacles, gestures of care. This text invites us to tell differently: without heroes, but with attention, listening, and relation. The symbolic point of departure is Lucy, the first almost complete human skeleton ever discovered. A woman. Here, Lucy does not hold a weapon, but an imaginary bag, filled with objects, artifacts, and fragments of meaning.
The exhibition space itself becomes this bag: a collective container traversed by works in dialogue, weaving connections between emerging and established positions, between contemporary concerns and echoes of art history. Lucy’s Handbag brings together works that contain more than they show. They do not tell a single story, but carry many, opening spaces for thinking, feeling, and associating — otherwise.”
