Tracing the Possible
LAIF
Tracing the Possible highlights the challenges of the present in a world that is characterized by resistance on many levels: as a reaction to destructive forces, and as an expression of hope and striving for a better future.
In their works, Daniel Chatard, Jana Islinger, Jeanette Petri, Marzena Skubatz, Nora Bibel, Rui Camilo, and Sitara Ambrosio address the question of how we understand and are able to rethink society in the context of climate change, territorial conflicts, and questions about identity. The works show people from around the world who – through their courage, creativity, and solidarity – have opened up new perspectives and revealed alternative paths for a fulfilling communal life.
The photographs take a look at the paradoxical beauty of acceptance in a world that frequently marginalizes and separates. They make it clear that resistance has many faces: from major struggles to everyday activities, from subtle change to silent perseverance.
