This exhibition takes its title and conceptual grounding from Homi K. Bhabha’s seminal theorization of the Third Space, a critical zone of cultural enunciation where identities are formed not through essentialist or binary structures, but through processes of negotiation, translation, and hybridity. The Third Space, as Bhabha suggests, is not merely a site of intersection but one of productive tension: a generative arena where difference does not dissolve but reconfigures the terms of engagement between cultures, histories, and epistemologies.
