Step into our new exhibition, “Matrika: She Who Makes Worlds” by Saroj Patel ✨

Through mythology, ancestral memory, and intergenerational storytelling, this exhibition explores women’s strength, care, and transformative power. In Hindu cosmology, Matrika refers to the divine mothers, powerful feminine energies associated with creation, protection, and transformation.

In this reel, artist Saroj Patel shares a glimpse into the stories, materials, and collective spirit behind the exhibition, reflecting on how worlds are carried forward through courage, memory, and imagination.

Launch is this Friday from 6pm, where you’ll have a chance to meet Saroj in person and get your first look at this amazing exhibition.

Everyone Welcome!
