A traveling suitcase that collected over 30 artistic projects and family archives from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.

“Handle with Care” is an exhibition on the go accompanied by a series of meditations. A seemingly unremarkable travel suitcase carries six artistic projects inspired by family archives, created by artists Lilit Matevosyan, Gulshat Gubaidullina, V-L-V-SH-M-D, Vladimir Seleznev, Katya Selezneva and Ketty van Doln. Along its journey through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, France, Austria, and Germany, the suitcase makes stops, actively inviting further artists and collaborators to join. It engages with local communities, and gathers new artistic voices to be shown together in a final exhibition in Frankfurt am Main.
