This is a free public showcase open to everyone during 4-7 September, 2025, anytime from 10-17:00
Working across disciplines, from painting and sculpture to performance and digital media, the artists reflect not only on what they have left behind, but on how they have continued to create, adapt, and speak through their practice.
For many of these artists, this is the first time their voices will be seen and heard by wider audiences. More than an exhibition, it’s a call to reflect on how art helps us belong, integrate, and begin again—together. We look forward to seeing you with us !
The entry is free of charge! In case you would like to support us, donations are welcome.
