Dissident Bodies brings together works that engage with the body and its experience in an increasingly posthuman present. The exhibition moves away from an anthropocentric understanding that positions the human as the central reference point, instead turning toward subjectivities emerging from technological, ecological, political, and affective entanglements. The body appears as an open assemblage of relations, understood not as a bounded entity but as a permeable structure in a constant state of transformation.
In this context, hybridization, metamorphosis, and fluidity emerge as processes in which corporeal forms overlap, merge, and continuously transform. The tension between nature and technology becomes visible where organic and artificial elements intertwine, dissolving clear distinctions. Embodiment is thus understood as a dynamic process in which body, perception, and identity are continually reconstituted.
By emphasizing the potential of the “in-between,” the exhibition frames queerness, alienation, racialization, and hybridity not as fixed categories but as shifting, relational conditions. The body appears as a movable threshold between identity and alterity, self and other—embedded in a complex web of constantly evolving relations.
