allegory - al·le·gory noun

1. a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.

​

Allegory has always been a vital part of the human experience: from ancient myths, fables, and parables to contemporary culture, humans love to use metaphors and symbols to make sense of the world, to critique it, and to imagine new possibilities. 

We invite artists to create works inspired by LEGO that convey deeper meaning by weaving narratives that reveal, conceal, or transform. What stories can you tell with bricks as metaphor? What truths can emerge through play, symbol, and imagination? 

​

In a world that feels fragmented, allegory helps us transcend the chaos by connecting the personal to the universal, the playful to the profound. Through allegory, tiny bricks become mirrors, reflecting the wonder and absurdity of being human.
