Storybox: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
How much does narrative need illustration and image need a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery like this, and the exhibition within it, is like a big box full of stories and all you have to do is choose. The programme draws inspirational material from Kamila Ženata's exhibition of abstract paintings Everything Like at the Dawn of the World.
