Common Ground (Samma land, Samaa maata) is the second exhibition by the UMFORMATTED artist group, which was established in connection with the Repin Institute in Kotka. The exhibition explores themes of identity, space, and homeland in a global context shaped by wars and conflicts. The building of walls, the closing of borders, the descent of the iron curtain — are we heading toward an era of increasingly rigid values and divisions?
