Footnotes is an exhibition that drifts beyond the understanding of language. It inhabits the margins, the digressions of signs that follow no rules, no systems. From this periphery, where meanings multiply without resolution, what emerges is not order but the resonance of being-together, a relation that does not depend on certainty.

Language tries to hold that relation in form, but it is never really fixed: it migrates, always adapts, carrying gestures and dislocations. It also disorients and divides, shaping categories and identities, imposing boundaries and hierarchies. It is the paradox of human existence, our capacity of expression and our persistent distance from the essence of each other.

Ayesha Sultana and Nabil Rahman bring their artistic conversations in between form and dissolution. Their works distort our sense of delicacy and strength, suggesting how vulnerability can hold power, and how solidity can give way to fragility. They resist definitions while offering a bare essential space to share, turning geometries and abstractions into landscapes of existence, and body parts into raw untranslatable records of presence.

The categories we inherit -names, genders, nations, religions- are scaffolds. Beyond them, we are left wandering in the gaps of our histories. Footnotes invites us to challenge the way we perceive connections, to find visual solace amid uncertainty. In this collapse of meanings, we are forced to reflect on the personal and collective histories we are witnessing, and decide how to hold on to hope.
