Periphery refers to a circumferential line or edge. This edge is always related to the center. Sociologically, periphery defines “rather remote, marginal and sparsely populated large areas in which cultural developments often arrive delayed,” says Christian Giordano. By daring to take the opposite view, the exhibition wants to “think from the edges” with a view from the periphery. It asks what it is that defines so-called marginal zones, and under what framework conditions they come about.
