Echoes of Existence
The 'Echoes of Existence' exhibition was held from April 15 till April 19, 2024 at the Upper Gulbenkian gallery in London.
The project was aimed at examining the dynamic interplay between social and political issues and the human body. Through the art, it presented how the human body is evolving amidst the profound changes of the modern world and how its portrayal, deeply rooted in history, serves as a lens through which we can comprehend these changes, as the world outside shapes us and influences who we are and who we are becoming.
The 'Echoes of Existence' – is about a human body as a powerful tool through which we can observe the current devastative changes such as wars, widespread protests, ecological crises, and debates over gender and identity. Recognizing ourselves within the broader human experience, where shared struggles shape our collective reality, empowers us to confront and navigate the complexities of our world.
The exhibition was open to the public from April 15 till April 19, at the Upper Gulbenkian Gallery in London (Royal College of Art SW7 2EU).
