The exhibition explores the complex nature of empathy, considering how individuals recognize and react to the feelings of others. It challenges visitors to reflect on topics such as:

• How empathy intersects with society, culture, and interspecies relationships
• The distribution of empathy among various human groups and species
• Why certain individuals or animals evoke stronger emotions than others

While empathy is often viewed as a solution to social and ecological issues, the exhibition also explores its potential to uphold and reinforce existing power structures. Rather than simply fostering understanding, empathy can illuminate the spaces where differences, conflicts, and power dynamics coexist.
