Tears That Laugh, Laughs That Cry explores the multiple facets of crying and laughter by bringing together twenty intergenerational and multicultural artistic positions. The exhibition addresses the charged space between these two strong emotions without treating them as opposites, but rather approaching them as transformative, porous and deeply relational. Tears may carry humour, laughter may bounce towards affective collapse. Both are bodily (re)actions that exceed language, constantly shaped by cultural codes, rituals and interactions.
