Dialogue: A Masters Show
8th March - 23th March 2025
10am - 4.30pm (Ramadan month) at HARTA (closed on Mondays)
Dialogue is more than just a title; it is the essence of our master’s degree show. Each of us brings a unique perspective, yet we are all engaged in the same pursuit: to communicate through our work, to create a space where ideas and emotions can be shared. This exhibition is not just about displaying art, it is about fostering conversations, inviting the audience to engage, interpret, and respond.
Art speaks on its own, and during the dialogue, our works speak in different tones, textures, and narratives. Some whisper, some challenge, some invite reflection—but all seek a response. This exhibition is meant to open up the discourse between artists and the public, where meaning is not imposed but found. It is an appeal to involvement, to inquiry, to that which is out of sight. Through our different practices, we want to enable conversations that go beyond the gallery space, affecting people in both their individual and collective
