Exhibition Introduction

Aria of the Unheard gathers nineteen artists whose works explore subtle, often imperceptible vibrations through film, sculpture, performance, photography, and installation. Instead of offering a single style or clear narrative, the exhibition unfolds through slowness, repetition, and shifting perceptions—inviting viewers to attune to what quietly lingers beneath the surface of history and everyday life.

​

This exhibition brings together works that navigate memory, intimacy, and resilience through diverse media. From digital collage and video to sculpture, print, and photography, the artists explore themes of disappearance, survival, and quiet resistance. Their practices capture fleeting connections, overlooked solitude, and the tension between what is revealed and what remains hidden.

​

Together, the works form a fragmented yet resonant landscape—where rhythm, silence, and material traces become ways of enduring, remembering, and reclaiming presence.
