Stories in Space, Time, and Image
Each exhibition is a temporary space of reflection, from long-standing collections to new voices, we invite you to enter, pause, and look again
Melting Silence
Melting Silence is a haunting, immersive exhibition by Dutch multimedia artist Ingrid Baas, whose work captures the fragile tension between inner stillness and global upheaval. At its core, Melting Silence is an invitation to witness what often goes unheard — the quiet collapse of ecosystems, the slow erosion of memory, and the muted anxiety of a world in flux.
Through abstract sculpture, sound installations, and light-responsive media, Baas meditates on the sensory and emotional fallout of the climate crisis. The title alludes both to the physical reality of melting glaciers and the psychological stillness that follows collective trauma. Silence becomes both a metaphor for neglect and a canvas for resistance — a space where unspoken grief and subtle transformation coexist.
The exhibition is arranged as a gradual descent into softness, with shifting light, ambient tones, and suspended forms encouraging visitors to slow down, observe, and feel. Each piece echoes the urgency of environmental degradation but resists spectacle. Instead, Baas offers silence as a form of protest, a quiet yet powerful reckoning with the Anthropocene.
About the artist
Ingrid Baas is internationally recognized for her interdisciplinary practice that blends sound art, minimalist sculpture, and sustainable materials. Deeply influenced by northern European landscapes and her early studies in environmental philosophy, Baas creates contemplative environments that draw attention to the unseen — whether emotional, ecological, or societal.
Her works have been exhibited in Rotterdam, Oslo, Tokyo, and São Paulo, and she continues to advocate for the integration of environmental ethics into artistic practice.

Echoes in Grey
Charcoal on recycled textile with embedded audio of melting ice and wind patterns from Greenland, rendered into slow, rhythmic pulses.
Frozen Breath
A suspended glass and resin piece shaped like exhaled air in cold temperatures; delicate and almost invisible, it addresses the fragility of human and planetary breath.
Voices Across Borders
Art confronting migration, identity, and displacement
Voices Across Borders is not a celebration. It’s an encounter — with stories often left unheard, with systems that draw lines between lives, and with the artists who refuse to look away.
This annual event brings together our partners, visitors, and community for a night of critical dialogue through art. It’s a space to question, to listen, and to reflect on the realities of forced movement, cultural erasure, and the search for home.
What to expect:
- New installations and works that center lived experience
- A direct conversation with the featured artist
- A look at upcoming exhibitions tied to migration and power structures
- Public readings, workshops, and open dialogue
This event also offers a moment of transparency: what the museum is working on, how we collaborate, and where we’re accountable.
About the artist
Tomás Rivera is a multidisciplinary artist based in Mexico City. His work addresses state violence, migration policy, and the fragility of identity in transit. Through invisible ink, fragmented documents, and found materials, Rivera reconstructs the silence left by displacement.
His installation Shadow Passport uses UV-reactive media to expose what official records conceal: fear, loss, and resistance. Rivera doesn’t illustrate migration — he materializes its bureaucracy, its weight, and its aftermath.
This work doesn’t offer closure — it demands witness.
Shadow Passport
Invisible borders, hidden identities. Documents that surface only when seen with care.
Holding Distance
A metaphor for distance and desire. Hands gripping the unseen weight of ambition and exile.
The Right to Repeat
Words passed through power. A forgotten text, reprinted — still asking who gets to speak.
