SPIRITUALITY
SPIRITUALITY: Curated by Angelo Madonna
Spirituality forms the third and last chapter in Material Matters’ multi-disciplinary response to the medieval tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The poem reminds us that art and spirituality are not separate realms but intertwined aspects of the human experience.
For this exhibition artists explore the mysteries of existence, confront our fears and desires, and seek meaning in a world that often opposes easy comprehension.Just as Sir Gawain embarks on his quest with courage and integrity, artists will engage with their work and embark on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, growth, and enlightenment.
