Mina Sawopo: The Beggars

Cryptid Art Space presents

The Beggars/Просяците
Exhibition by Mina Sawopo

March 25 – April 6, 2023

What is enough? How much does a person need in order to live? When do we sate our hunger and step over the threshold of greed? How does a person respond when faced with obstacles? How far does the idea of choice remain an illusion? When will we be fed? These are the questions raised in the exhibition “THE BEGGARS,” answered by the figure of the beggar, holding out empty palms. /Mina Sawopo/
