Opening event False Friends
We invite you to the opening of the exhibition False Friends, which, through the concept of so-called “false friends” – words that sound similar but differ in meaning – explores the relationship between language, identity, and politics.
In the context of the Balkans, a region shaped by shared history as well as divergent narratives, language emerges as a tool that can both connect and exclude, becoming a symbol of regional complexities, misunderstandings, and broader cultural tensions. The exhibition draws on the ideas of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson about how metaphors frame our understanding of the world, and presents artists who reflect on shifting meanings across borders and the potential of language to disrupt fixed narratives.

The Society of Dangerous Evidence: Dykes on Bikes 2.0
The exhibition at Fotograf Gallery maps the various forms of lesbian and queer experience in relation to space, language, the body and material structures. It arises from the need to articulate this experience not only as an identity category but as a way of being and functioning in a world often defined by heteronormative and patriarchal frameworks. The artists and collectives represented in the exhibition approach themes such as sexuality, language, cuisine, landscape or technology through specific political, corporeal and cultural strategies. This creates a layered and complex portrayal of what queer positionality can mean in contemporary European context.
