AURA SPACE WAs an experiment

Sursuma’s dynamic pop-up hub – was where creativity and knowledge collided.

A vibrant blend of gallery, library, and study room, designed to inspire.

Curated by Lucija Šutej (Editor, Sursuma) and Johannes Kreutzer (Scientific Editor and Material Scientist), each exhibition was a journey, actively blending science and culture to uncover the hidden stories behind everyday materials and objects.

We celebrateD the process, not JUST the product. Our exhibitions spotlightED research and experimentation—offering a glimpse into the creative journey.

A small office room with beige carpeting, white walls, and a white desk with a glass vase of green branches. There is a tan modern chair in front of the desk, a white bookshelf with books and plant, and a tall white floor lamp. Photos are pinned on the wall.

Do objects have inherent meaning, or do we project meaning onto them?

How do objects facilitate cross-cultural exchange and understanding?

What stories do tools and technologies tell about human innovation and adaptation?

How do we use objects and materials to reconstruct the past, understand the present and shape the future?
