How will artistic exhibitions function in the post-pandemic world? Visiting museums and galleries is a health hazard. 六/6: Finding Meaning is an attempt to offer an alternative. It embodies a novel exhibiting format called the expanded exhibition, which inhabits an expanded public space, between the physical and the digital. 六/6shows us that, once liberated spatially, exhibitions can be effective tools of meaning-making and social change even in a post-pandemic world. By exploiting the interplay between the digital and the physical domains, expanded exhibitions such as 六/6 can build alternatives of cultural production that can cope with social distancing, while being participatory, democratic with respect to access, and politically transformative by displacing the colonialist hierarchy center/periphery.
