Sept 4 - Oct 18 ​

 

H.I.M. (Heritage Inside Me) brings together a group of local artists whose works explore the layered and evolving nature of heritage. Through diverse artistic practices and perspectives, the exhibition considers how personal histories intersect with broader cultural narratives, revealing heritage not as a fixed inheritance but as a living, shifting presence within contemporary life.

​

Rather than imposing a single thematic framework, the exhibition embraces openness—allowing artists to approach the idea of heritage through memory, place, identity, and transformation. Some works draw from intimate recollections and familial histories, while others engage with the collective experiences that shape communities and cultural belonging.

​

Across painting, sculpture, and mixed media, the exhibition becomes a space where different voices converge, each offering a distinct interpretation of what it means to carry heritage within oneself. These works reflect on the subtle ways in which identity is continually negotiated between past and present, tradition and change.

​

By foregrounding these varied perspectives, H.I.M. (Heritage Inside Me) highlights the complexity of cultural memory and how artists translate lived experience into visual form. Together, the works invite reflection on the shifting contours of belonging and the enduring connections that shape individual and collective identity.
