Dear Alterity | Mula Multidisciplinary Art Space
When something cannot be grasped directly, how else can we look at it? Some things do not wait for us to arrive in front of them; rather, one must take a detour for their contours to slowly reveal themselves.
Perhaps what makes "Alterity" fascinating is precisely that it never appears in a completely unfamiliar way but always uses a kind of familiarity that is both close and distant to draw people into those things that cannot be fully articulated at once. It might just be a subtle deviation: an image slightly distanced from itself, a space quietly folding in ambiguity, a stretch of time elongated to reveal a rhythm different from the usual.
And "Dear" proposes another ethics of looking – knowing how to linger, allowing detours, and acknowledging the ultimate limits of habitual understanding. It is not eager to arrive, nor eager to name, but in approaching, still preserves the irreducible difference of alterity; it does not cancel distance but learns to coexist within it.
"Dear Alterity" might just be a greeting we offer to the parts of ourselves we have yet to understand. It invites us to linger before naming, to gaze where confirmation is impossible, and at the border between the familiar and the unknown, to relearn how to encounter the world.
