REACT!
React! was the theme of the first edition of IN COLORS PROJECT. In a word, in the tone of a challenge, the manifesto of an initiative that is, by concept, reaction and inclusion was made public.
The possibility of different interpretations of the theme was intentional. There was no desire to condition visions. In this opening, and from an international call, the collective body of the exhibition IN COLORS PROJECT - React! emerged.
As it became clear, the theme could be almost anything - the existence of a place, the mark of time, a common circumstance, a personal condition; the manifestation of life, its absence, the noticed presence of things. In all cases, it proved to be an invitation to reflect on the reactive nature of the human being, be it the photographer or the person who appreciates his/her artwork.
