Soma

Group Exhibition

National Arts Festival 2019

​

Soma: Greek for 'body'. This exhibition explored the theme of the body as a collection of parts which form a whole. Artworks in the exhibition expressed aspects of physical experience, rituals and the impact of bodies of knowledge in shaping our identities. Some of the artworks included in the show allowed for considered installation.
