Common Space

Common spaces 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. Artist’s in the exhibition initiate a conversation about how we interact, archive, and manifest in the present day.

The artworks of these four artists cover a wide range of themes and ideas. They explore the connections between the past and present, the impact of fashion on society, the exploration of memory and texture, and the role of archiving in shaping cultural identities. Using
powerful visuals, thought-provoking questions, and a combination of different artistic methods, their artworks tell stories that capture the essence of specific moments. By experiencing these artworks, viewers are encouraged to reflect on and question their own understanding of history, identity, and memory. This fosters a sense of connection among people and challenges conventional societal norms.
