This exhibition foregrounds shared and divergent histories of migration, colonial inheritance, and cultural identity; bringing together the work of artists: Agnes Christina, Fyerool Darma, Amrita Hepi, Megan McPherson, Patriot Mukmin, and Shahmen Suku. Air Means Water examines how geopolitical borders shape contemporary life while proposing alternate modes of kinship and solidarity across distance.
Air Means Water extends beyond the gallery through a series of public programs including language-specific tours, film screenings, shared meals, panel discussions, and a weaving workshop. These events invite audiences into a space of collective reflection, where hospitality and dialogue become forms of resistance against imposed borders.
