On Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 7 p.m., we invite you to the Mala galerija Banke Slovenije for the opening of the exhibition entitled Comfort Zone: Displays of Affection.
The exhibition Comfort Zone: Displays of Affection is based on the fourth issue of ETC. magazine. Through works by Martina Drozd Smutná, Kaja Upelj, Dorottya Vékony, Sonja Vulpes and Konstantin Zhukov, it explores the notion of seeking out comfort in (public) displays of affection – both towards others and oneself. The artists in the exhibition thus reflect on the complexities and ambiguities of interpersonal relationships, intergenerational trauma, intimacy and sexual fluidity, gender roles and parenting challenges, as well as the importance of self-love.
Artists: Martina Drozd Smutná, Kaja Upelj, Dorottya Vékony, Sonja Vulpes, Konstantin Zhukov
Curated by: ETC.
MGBS Curator: Hana Čeferin
