'Protect Me' by artist Alberto Favaro looks at what it really means to protect someone or something. Protection often comes from a place of care, but it can also mean taking away freedom. It shows how the person protecting can end up having power over the one protecting, whether at home or politically.
The exhibition starts by looking at everyday life. It shows how people try to protect their belongings and routines, sometimes in an obsessive way, as a way to avoid change or loss. Then it moves on to bigger issues, like how the idea of protection is often used to justify strict government rules, closed borders, and fewer democratic rights.
