Folklore in its many facets forms the basis for the idea of the exhibition project, for example to tell the story of the understanding of music in tradition and modernity in a humorous way through installations and performances by various artists (groups) with self-made instruments and costumes. In the interplay between the corresponding works, the musical elements of folklore function as an artistic language for documenting everyday events, telling stories from the margins of society, deciphering social inequality and overcoming cultural boundaries.
