Spiritual quest

What: Trying to find the meaning of life and deconstructing emotions, here’s an exploration through art. A group exhibition “Finding Meaning”, explores the idea of existence and the meaning of it all. The world has always searched for meaning, reason and causality. The human mind’s endless quests have accelerated evolution beyond its natural or earlier subtle pace. We search for meaning but is there any? Are we here for a purpose or do we exist accidentally? What is conscience and how does it relate to the world around us? Drop in as this exhibition attempts to find answers to these question.
When: October 24 – November 14 (11 am – 7 pm)
Where: Ampas Art Gallery, 374 Sultanpur, M-G Road
