A multimedia research project dedicated to human emotions, where art serves as a subject revealing the spectrum of human experiences. Six basic emotions – fear, anger, joy, sadness, disgust, and surprise – have remained pivotal throughout human evolution. How do we recognize, understand, accept, live with, and balance our emotions? In a reality where emotions shape every aspect of human life – from mental and physical health to our relationship with the environment – this exhibition positions art as both mirror and instrument of self-knowledge. It invites viewers to explore the realm of emotions through multiple perspectives, including science, art, medicine, spirituality, and everyday experience.
Continuing the series of discussions on emotional lintelligence initiated by physician Ilze Aizsilniece (1966-2025), the exhibition will feature talks and discussions with artists, psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, musicians, architects, designers, and philosophers.
