The word ‘alien’ has multiple meanings in English, ranging from extraterrestrial and outsider to unknown and marginal, but all of them allude to diverse aspects of the unfamiliar or different. Inspired by the polysemic nature of the word, this exhibition examines various forms of otherness to challenge the frames that define the boundary between the self and the other, between the familiar and the foreign.
