The 24 artistic statements in the exhibition challenge the Eurocentric historicizing of Beauty. Their robust questioning and invention offer new perceptual possibilities of the visual. These charged emotive works in the exhibition featuring artists from sixteen countries allows the viewer to enter the emerging dialogue About Beauty.
