Ancient narratives + contemporary experiences = multi-mythic memories!

From October 15 to December 1, travel between cultures with the Constellations of Origins – Interwoven Myths exhibition by Ricardo Rodríguez (Rikhahrt).

Through imagery inspired by Norse and Maya worlds, the works weave archetypes, animals and inner landscapes into a hybrid visual language, creating a constellation of cultures for viewers to explore.

Join us for the opening event on Thursday, October 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at Atrium Art Gallery.

Sensitivity 🤝 Strength

From October 8 to November 11 celebrate women as free, creative and ever-evolving beings with the Femmes en résonance exhibition by multi-award-winning Tunisian artist Sabrine Trabelsi.

Her hybrid paintings blend surrealism and symbolism, exploring the sensitivity and strength of the feminine through compositions where vibrant colours and arabesque forms intertwine.

Join us on Thursday, October 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at Trinity Art Gallery for the opening event!
