Impossible Dialogue- Sumerian Disputations focuses on the symptomatic polarized lack of civility affecting our interactions in social media spaces.
Impossible Dialogue - Sumerian Disputations, a solo exhibition by renowned Cuban artist Sandra Ramos. This unique art installation will be on display from June 28 to August 31, 2024, inviting visitors to engage in a thought-provoking exploration of civility in communication in the digital age.
Ramos will ingeniously transform the gallery into an Apple store-like environment, where technological products are replaced by clay phones, tablets, and laptops adorned with relief inscriptions of texts and images. This installation will create an ironic palimpsest, juxtaposing the ancient "Sumerian Disputes"—the oldest recorded word debates on cuneiform clay tablets—with today's plethora of messages filled with the hatred, intolerance, and extremism found on social networks.
Sandra Ramos is celebrated for her innovative approach to art, often addressing themes of identity, politics, and society. Her work in Impossible Dialogue continues this endeavor, providing a poignant commentary on the nature of discourse in contemporary digital platforms.
