SANTA FE, N.M. - s4story -- How much can fit into a small space? A memory, a sensation, a landscape of the soul. Kaleidoscope: Small Worlds brings together 35 emerging artists from 16 countries — including the USA, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Greece, Finland, Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, Cyprus, Czech Republic, and New Zealand — each offering a personal fragment of a wider mosaic.

The exhibition invites visitors to see the world through a more thoughtful and intimate lens. Small and medium formats become a way to speak of universal themes: personal and cultural memory, sensations, inner landscapes, identity, belonging, and the subtle vibrations of time and space. Working in painting, collage, photography, and mixed media, the participating artists compose a visual polyphony — a shared rhythm born of difference.

"Each fragment holds a world, a story, a bridge between cultures," says curator Julia Sysalova. "This global project unites artists, showing how small works can form a powerful, collective artistic statement."
