Common Space
‘Common Space’ is an interdisciplinary art exhibition that seeks the notion of common space through personal and collective experience. We live in a society with diverse cultures and histories, and our individual experiences shape and isolate us in various ways. Recognizing this common ground is crucial because it demonstrates how our stories are intertwined, fostering empathy and unity. Embracing our shared space entails appreciating our various points of view and finding strength in our collective differences. Young artists in the exhibition initiate a conversation about how we interact, archive, and manifest in the present day. It is a contemporary art exhibition that encourages viewer interaction and fosters dialogue. The exhibition includes a variety of work themes that expand on the conceptual aims.
