Reading artwork interpretations written by young artists visiting with IgnitED Education was a highlight of 2025 🎨

Witness the meticulous installation of I Went Away and Forgot You by Dana Awartani. Comprising a geometric floor composition of coloured sand and a single-channel film, the work resonates with renewed urgency in today’s political climate. Through her act of Erasure, Awartani invites us to reflect on the art forms, architecture and cultural practices that shape our heritage. ERASURE | Winter exhibition open until 12 April 2026.
