We are truly honored, humbled, and grateful for the overwhelming response to our first open call. We at PAKD Gallery Berlin proudly present this inaugural exhibition, "Spanning Delta – A Bridge to Transformation”. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of the talented artists who submitted their work. Your visions and dedication to themes of interconnectedness, adaptation, and transformation through art have made this an exceptional experience. To come to know you first through your artwork has been humbling.

"Spanning Delta – A Bridge to Transformation" delves into themes of change, metamorphosis, and adaptation, showcasing the transformative and connective forces of art, and the resilience of human spirit. Artworks in the exhibition explore various forms of adaptation, migration, ritual, and the human desire for survival despite limitations, boundaries, accessibility, and occupation. It offers a platform where the transformative power of art is examined through various materials and mediums, spanning painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, and interactive installation.

Artists in this exhibition deliver perspective and visions through careful approach, creating work that traverses cultural, geographical, corporeal, and emotional boundaries. The collection ties together the the power of migrations, the mystery of ritual, flesh, and the fluidity of permutations that defines our existence in both intimate and communal spaces.

The title, "Spanning Delta", alludes to the flow and transition between various forms and states, much like the Greek letter Delta (Δ) stands for a symbol of change in both mathematical and cultural contexts.

It is with these notions and intentions that we begin together, and form PAKD.
