This exhibition confronts us with the undeniable realities of our complex world. The artists presented in this exhibition utilize video, painting, and installation to explore themes of war, displacement, political injustices, and the legacies of colonialism. The artworks invite viewers to engage with uncomfortable truths and serve as tools for sparking dialogue, fostering empathy, and igniting a sense of responsibility within us.
