Threading Worlds Exhibition 09/20

ThisConnect: Threading Worlds is a multidisciplinary art exhibition that is held in conjunction with Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.

The 2 bodies of works, namely Tipping Point and I Feel You, focuses on the theme of human connections and our ability to be our authentic beings and truer selves. The works reflect the subtle dynamics and invisible forces that influence our experiences as we go through life, carrying the burdens of our emotional baggage from the past and present; struggling to fill the void of the deep-seated stories that have been left unsaid. The stories of loss, pain and vulnerability are often misaligned between our internal worlds and external worlds, and even more so when we leave little room to breathe in the hustle and bustle of life.

Through the documentation of performative, instructional and participatory art, the artists and participants individually and collectively went into a healing process within the safe space created. They looked inwards into their selves to return to their most authentic beings, and to confront their personal truths and difficult emotions repressed by trauma and misalignment so that healing can take place. The pieces of work reflect courage, love, and the greatest power a person can have as they return to their most authentic being and innocence once again.
