Exhibition Opening: spectral sentiments, ‘Misbaḥa / The Prayer Beads / مسبحة’ and ‘Water Morality’

Join us for the launch of 'spectral sentiments', ‘Misbaḥa / The Prayer Beads / مسبحة’ and ‘Water Morality’.

‘spectral sentiments’ by Jing Liang, curated by Lê Nguyên Phương, uncovers hidden narratives of feminine labour, endurance, and resilience within family life.

‘Misbaḥa / The Prayer Beads / مسبحة’ by Ayman Kaake reflects experiences in a patriarchal Middle Eastern society to explore identity and the constraints placed upon LGBTQIA+ individuals.

‘Water Morality’ by Orquidea Collective is a multisensory installation exploring the Pacific Ocean’s impact on culture and identity.
