Coming together as a group
Our interest in investigating faith as an expression of culture, beliefs, traditions, rituals, myths, legends and folk tales etc. brought us together. Our curiosity to find out about similarities and differences between culture, beliefs and values motivated us to dig deeper into the concept. Discussions helped us realize the importance of faith in representing global identities and the shared values that reflects our uniqueness and influence the way people live and act. We decided to explore it in detail.
We are looking forward to this exhibition journey!
