 Examining depictions of our shared humanity, Walking Upright presents a captivating exploration of the human condition through the lens of a group of young emerging artists. While each artist is individual in theme and approach, their work remains in conversation with their counterparts, converging to create a layered visual dialogue of their curious perspectives on the now. As young artists, they believe that their generation’s unique perspective is key to sparking up and continuing conversations of how they see this changing world and their potential futures. Touching on themes including environment, biology, life cycles, memory, and loss, the exhibition invites you to engage with their first endeavour as a collective.
