The exhibition The Games We Play offers a different perspective and understanding of how we relate to the multifaceted aspect of care articulation, trauma negotiations, and healing. Furthermore project at the Škuc Gallery, The Games We Play: Accidents of Time, Flexibility of Logic and Queer Choregraphies investigate the intersection between play, queer systems and mythologies of certainty. Through kinetic, textile and diagrammatic vinyl installations, works choreograph various research styles and intuitive knowledge productions through visual narratives. It acts as a mapping process of different mediations of play and trauma—reflecting personal and institutional care strategies. Why do we mythologise certainty? How is it connected to dialectics and systems of play? And how can queer discourse assist in forecasting healthier social imagination?

Excavating from Eric Berne’s work on transactional analysis, Hubert Damisch’s institutional critique and strategies, and José Esteban Muñoz’s reimagining of queer futurity, the artistc project and exhibition The Games We Play unfolds psyche-cultural negotiations of individual and institutional mythologies while exploring a conceptual aspect of queer healing. Through autoethnographic topologies, Knezović explores currencies of memory, institutional and inter-generational traumas, strategies of resilience and tropes that disclose tactics of social-emotional precariousness within the queer community.
