// @download_repost_pro – We’re thrilled to announce the opening of Ways of Being, Art Manzil’s inaugural exhibition.

Join us on June 12, at 7.30pm onwards to celebrate the exhibition and the incredible artists.

Art Manzil’s inaugural exhibition, in collaboration with @atelier.nextdoor, brings together 8 artists rooted in a South and West Asian context who present their narrative worlds centered around the figure.

Ways of Being embodies a cultural sensibility wherein temporal boundaries collapse, as artists draw from imagined or ancestrally felt memories and recall futures that are intimately sensed yet remain elusive. Here, artists linger over a distinct mood. Scenescapes are imbued with emotional atmosphere, figures shaped by a softness of line, and a pervasive sense of tenderness suggests layers beneath the literal. In so doing, the artwork offers a tender, poetic counterpoint to the current cultural moment – elevating nostalgia not as mere longing but as a generative force.
