Tigukass has been active since 2009, both making art and teaching it to others. Survivors features scaly creatures, who survive even the darkest times, all while being uniquely cute. The exhibition aims to showcase how dark times don’t just create gloomy and belligerent creatures, even though they’re often the most noticeable ones.
Survivors explores how plagues, wars and chaos don’t just affect people, even though human suffering is usually the focus of these catastrophes. There are always unnoticeable creatures near these human colonies. These creatures do their best to survive, all while trying to preserve their human – or perhaps even brute – essences.
