Sorry, the Hardest Word?
Zavod P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. presents the exhibition Sorry, the Hardest Word? curated by Suzana Milevska and in celebration of its 30th anniversary at the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art.
Sorry, the Hardest Word? presents artistic endeavours predicated on the urgent need to ponder the complex phenomenon of apology, and what should come after apologising. The exhibition points to the potentialities of various artistic practices for challenging the protocols of political, institutional, collective, or interpersonal apologies. One of the pivotal propositions of Sorry, the Hardest Word? is that the participatory artistic strategies and initiatives such as the renaming, redistribution, boycotts, calls for divestment, reconciliation, and reparations can instigate new formats of apology and social transformation.
Artists include: Tal Adler, Marie Blum, Noa Gur, Sasha Huber, Tadej Pogačar, Sam Richardson, Merete Røstad, Simona Schneider, Sašo Stanojkoviḱ, Esther Strauß, Virgil B/G Taylor
