SUMMARY:Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the New England Regional Art Museum for the opening night of two new exhibitions: DistoMorph and Drawn From Pain\, Written from Truth. \n\nDistoMorph: Svenja\nDistoMorph is an immersive exploration of colour\, texture and transformation inspired by the intricate forms of the natural world. Drawing from photographic observations of organic details magnified to a macro scale\, the exhibition reimagines nature through vivid distortions and abstracted forms that feel both familiar and otherworldly. Through richly embellished textile works and sculptural forms\, pattern\, shape and colour expand beyond their original boundaries\, creating kaleidoscopic compositions that celebrate beauty\, growth and sensory abundance. \n  \n\nDrawn From Pain\, Written from Truth: Amera Ali and Suad Smo \nDrawn From Pain\, Written from Truth brings together the powerful testimonies of Amera Ali and Suad Smo in an exhibition that speaks to survival\, memory and resilience. Captured by ISIS as young girls during the Yezidi genocide\, both artists draw on lived experience to share deeply personal accounts of displacement\, violence and endurance. Through text\, Amera Ali reflects on trauma\, survival and the difficult process of rebuilding a life after unimaginable loss\, while Suad Smo’s artworks give visual form to grief\, cultural memory and resilience. Together\, their practices become acts of witness and resistance\, ensuring stories too often silenced are seen and heard. \n  \nExhibition proudly supported by Armidale Sanctuary Humanitarian Settlement \n  \n\nEvent Information\nDate: Friday 12th June\nTime: 6pm – 8pm\nLocation: New England Regional Art Museum\nCost: FREE \n\nCredit: Svenja\, Expiration\, 2023.
