Art Exhibitions

Re-Wilding is an invitation to undo control. Drawing from ecological practice, the term speaks to the restoration of systems through the removal of dominance - allowing intelligence, relation, and regeneration to re-emerge.

In this exhibition, that idea expands beyond land into emotional, cultural, spiritual, and political terrains, shaping a curious and deeply engaging body of work created by artists who are attentive to imperfection, impermanence, and lived experience
“Re-Wilding” will be opened by Dr Ashraf Jamal. The exhibition features works by artists whose diverse artistic practices come together in a thoughtful exploration of the exhibition’s theme.
Across sculpture, ceramics, photography, printmaking, painting, and mixed media, the artists gathered here work with materials that remember. Clay records pressure and touch. Earth, sand, and industrial matter hold time within them. Digital and physical forms blur, reminding us that the systems we construct -  technological, cultural, ideological  - inevitably remake us in return. Animals, bodies, and mythic presences appear not as symbols to be mastered, but as carriers of memory, knowledge, and connection between the human and the more-than-human world .

 

Rather than projecting fixed meaning, these artists practise what Ashraf Jamal describes as a trained intuition  -  a way of seeing that privileges attentiveness over certainty, relation over mastery. Their works do not resolve; they suggest. They open spaces between things, where meaning is felt rather than declared. In this way, the exhibition leans toward experience - allowing viewers to encounter the work slowly, relationally, and without prescription .

 

Through their individual practices, the artists propose Re-Wilding as a practice of care, resistance, and re-connection: a way of making space for what has been silenced, fenced in, or forgotten to grow again.
Please join us for a glass of wine and delicious snacks, and an engaging opening moment with our guest speaker, the well-known Dr Ashraf Jamal,  whose reflections will offer further insight into the ideas that shape this exhibition.
