BEING*

The exhibition Being Human explores the complexities and paradoxes of being human, from birth to death, and everything in between. A ‘multi-media’ experience, through photography, sound and video, as well as classical painting and contemporary sculpture, the exhibition aims to provoke reflection on what it means to be human in the modern world.

The exhibition is divided into four parts, each exploring different aspects of the human condition and sensory input and stimuli.

1. Birth and Growth
   The first section of the exhibition focuses on the beginning of life, exploring themes such as innocence, vulnerability, and the promise of potential. This section includes works by artists such as Mary Cassatt, Kiki Smith, and Sally Mann.
   
   
2. Conflict and Struggle
   The second section of the exhibition delves into the complexities of human experience, including themes of conflict, struggle, and adversity. This section includes works by artists such as Francisco Goya, Frida Kahlo, and Ai Weiwei.
   
   
3. Love and Connection
   The third section of the exhibition explores the connections that bind us together, including themes of love, family, and community. This section includes works by artists such as Michelangelo, Tracey Emin, and Keith Haring.
4. Mortality and Transcendence
   The exhibition’s final section focuses on the ultimate human experience – death – and the possibility of transcendence beyond it. This section includes works by artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Damien Hirst, and Bill Viola.

Throughout the exhibition, visitors are invited to contemplate the different facets of the human condition and to reflect on their own experiences of being human. The exhibition aims to create a space for contemplation, empathy, connection, and appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
