“Overlap” is a nonprofit exhibition — not merely a showcase of creative work, but a dialogue. Inspired by the historical evolution of art and design, and shaped by contemporary critical discourse, this project raises a central question: when public understanding diverges from that of institutions and experts, how do we define whether something is art, design, or product?

Each piece exhibited invites the audience to decide for themselves.

This participatory approach empowers visitors while offering creators valuable insights into how their work is received and interpreted.

By involving the public directly, the exhibition helps artists, designers, and makers better understand their potential markets and connect with the right audience.

We are now moving from the invitation-only stage to an open call. Whether you’re an artist, designer, artisan, or brand founder — we welcome your submission.
