Early Christian writers imagined countless worlds dispersed throughout an infinite universe. For many, these extraterrestrial realms were not empty possibilities, but places inhabited by living beings.

Visionary artists have long sought to transcend the limits of the physical world. Their artwork often comes from an altered state of consciousness brought about through meditation, shamanic journeys, dreams, or direct encounters and transmissions from unknown intelligences.
In 1947, the first widely documented UFO sighting marked the beginning of a new cultural mythology surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena and extraterrestrial contact.
This exhibition focuses on visionary artists and their alleged experiences with flying saucers, alien abductions, interdimensional entities, and close encounters of all kinds. Through painting, textile, printmaking, drawing, and digital photography, these artists attempt to give form to experiences that exist beyond conventional understanding.
