This exhibition uses object-oriented ontology (OOO) as its curatorial framework. We focus on the agency of objects—no longer passive tools for human use, but autonomous entities with meaning and the right to remain silent.
Exhibition Details:
– Exhibition Dates: July 15-18, 2025
– Curated by: YDMD Studio
– Produced by: Synonym Lab

Deadline: July 5, 2025 (Rolling review – early submission encouraged)
