In a city widely associated with scripts, performance, and structured storytelling, "OFF SCRIPT" focuses on artists who arrive without predefined positions. Their works reflect processes of displacement, adaptation, and reinvention revealing what emerges when external structures fall away and authenticity becomes the primary creative force.

"'OFF SCRIPT' explores what happens when artists are not assigned a role," says curator Julia Sysalova. "When familiar systems disappear, artists must rely on intuition, inner logic, and lived experience. The result is work that is raw, vulnerable, and deeply resonant."

The exhibition presents a wide range of contemporary practices unified by shared inquiries into identity, belonging, and self-definition. Each participating artist constructs a distinct visual universe shaped by cultural transition rather than inherited norms.

Founded by the Institute of Mediterranean Culture, JS Gallery was established to foster dialogue, unity, and cross-cultural understanding through contemporary art. The gallery represents artists internationally and is featured on Artsy, where collectors, curators, and institutions worldwide discover emerging and established voices.
