About

Tradition Interrupted features a fascinating selection of 23 artworks created by 12 artists from around the world who believe that everyday objects have the power to evoke memories and emotions. Their works connect the past and the present by reimagining age-old art into exciting contemporary artworks. By applying new techniques and ideas to familiar items, like textiles, metals, and pottery, the artists tell their complex stories and challenge how we remember history. 

Visual arts often acts as a mirror, reflecting a culture's beliefs, values, and stories by providing insights into history and evolution. By reimagining traditional arts and crafts, the artists interrupt the fixed structure of history, allowing us to think differently about the past while envisioning new possibilities in the future.
