Year: 2016
\nTechnique: ink on paper, 40 x 30 cm<\/p>\n

Drawings were made for the solo show<\/a> of the same title (composed of the words exploitation and nation) at Alkatraz Gallery in 2016.<\/p>\n

“The artist received the impulse for the exhibition while observing responses to the migration crisis which has, in the media and the Internet space triggered a surge of negative emotions, often pointed toward the victims of the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of the recent years. A spectrum of negative reactions, articulated by the aid of hate speech has settled as a regular companion of press reports, chats in caf\u00e9s and on social networks. There is an interesting fact about it \u2013 the mentioned discourse has emerged in the circles of the self-proclaimed patriots. While following the paradox (as love for the homeland was one of the crucial qualities to catalyze the uprising against the occupancy during the Second World War, as stressed by the author) the artist started to ask herself how it is possible that love for the nation can \u2013 in such a short time \u2013 turn into acts that bear witness of hatred toward others exactly in the name of patriotism? Is a demonized image of a stranger a necessary condition to establish a national community?”<\/p>\n
