These exhibitions explore cultural narratives from Argentina to Australia and South Korea.

Her piece "Uncanny Valley" features tufted heads that challenge perceptions of the body. Additionally, Francis Upritchard’s mixed influences reflect a melding of ancient tradition with contemporary themes, underlining a shift in artistic focus toward the narratives of the past in a tech-driven world.
