Through installations, films, photographs, and objects, the exhibition touches on such issues as control, terror, violence, war, nationalism, activism, and the political past, as well as consumption, education, environment, work, emancipation, and globalisation.

Includes trilingual introductions of participating art group/artists and their works.
