Sanjay Sundram: Emerge

February 9 to April 18, 2023

Each one of us (including the artist) bears responsibility for the current climate crisis. By the same token, each one can make a difference. This exhibition focuses on communication about the climate emergency and community involvement. The show features numerous paintings by the artist exploring the environmental crisis. Besides these, community involvement in the show is encouraged through the “Teach Your Parents” project. The target audience for this is children, who will be the most affected by the climate emergency and are the least informed. Over 700 children created paintings, after learning about ocean warming through a comic and animation created specifically for this exhibition. Selected paintings will be displayed.
