This event centers on the biblical narrative of the Tower of Babel and delves into the broader themes of multilingualism and language in all its forms.

The exhibition will primarily feature works by contemporary artists, exploring themes such as AI, body language, visual language, sign language, and youth slang. Visitors can expect a diverse collection of art that addresses the complexities and richness of human communication, drawing parallels between the ancient story and modern-day societal dialogues. The final selection of works will be announced in early February, with the exhibition set to open in November 2026.
