SOMA

Group Exhibition | 

National Arts Festival 2019

​

Curated by Jonathan Griffiths 

Soma: Greek for 'body'. This exhibition explored the theme of the body in both material and spiritual dimensions, as a collection of parts which form a whole. The artworks in the exhibition explored our physical connection to the earth, the rituals and enactments of our embodied lives and the fragility of our relationships and emotional states, as well as the impact of bodies of knowledge, religious and ideological, on our identities.
