Instinct#15 fuck your loneliness _ exploring solitude / Vernissage

fuck your loneliness _ exploring solitude sets out to delve into the multi-faceted aspects of loneliness, combining intimate reflections and bold engagements with bravado and resistance. From its wide array of visions, this group show asks: how can we come to grips with this oft-tabooed and disregarded subject and be more compassionate and kind?

When does crippling loneliness slip into soothing strength where the vulnerabilities are fully acknowledged and embraced? Can we repair a severed connection with the world and enable a better understanding of that very special (often very lonely) place each and every one of us inhabits?

Instinct, an essential constituent of the we are village project, has over the years evolved into an international network of artists, creatives, art players and volunteers invested in dialogue and aesthetic experimentation. Instinct always strives to confront pressing issues in our community – loneliness ranking high amongst them – while being deeply anchored in Berlin’s unique creative spirit.
