Mythologies

Mythological narratives possess immense powers which can be both edifying and devastating. The exhibition 'Mythologies ? The Beginning and End of Civilizations', showing in two gallery spaces at ARoS, attempts to expose the narratives that, through various historical epochs, have sustained society and had a governing influence on communities as well as on war and destruction. This embodies the duality of mythology.00ARoS seeks, with this exhibition, to persuade the audience to respond to the mythologies that define and create the framework of the society which we are all part of and contribute to. The fact that myths and narratives are the fabric that still manages to unite us all is one of the principal assertions of the exhibition. By highlighting a number of specific historical points of interest, 'Mythologies ? The Beginning and End of Civilizations' will uncover periods where old narratives are discarded and new ones emerge, often via radical ruptures. In this way, the exhibition bridges the past and the present while also shining a light on social changes that have changed the emphasis on those mythologies and narratives that have been cardinal to sustaining social constructions.00Exhibition: ARoS Kunstmuseum, Aarhus, Denmark (04.04.-18.10.2020).
