Transformative Journeys through Mentorship, is a project of the collective Unlearn to Learn and is opening in the Main Gallery. Funded by the National Arts Council, the exhibition challenges traditional educational paradigms by promoting personal and communal growth through mentorship. The showcased works, created by artists who participated in the Unlearn to Learn mentorship program, highlight the profound impact of mentorship in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and community dialogue.
The selected body of work spans diverse mediums and subject matters, reflecting how unlearning preconceived notions and embracing new perspectives can ignite artistic and personal transformation.


In the Mezzanine Gallery there is an opening of, New Abstractions, a solo exhibiiton of paintings by Austin Konchira. 

"I like to paint machines. I pay my tribute to the thousands of known and unknown people who have devoted their lives for the evolution of modern machinery.

I consider my art as a performance to heal my existence. It is a long journey to some unknown destination that one cannot reach till his life is spent. Motifs of machines fill my recent works. Machines and discarded mechanical objects began to appear in my paintings way back in the 80’s. But then, all of them were used as supportive elements to the main theme. Now, I am fascinated by their appearances and functions. Machines are manmade and have served as a productive force throughout Time."
