The exhibition, themed around the concepts of belonging, home, and identity, showcases a stunning interplay of light and shadow, reflecting on the universal experiences of loss, motherhood, and the essence of ‘home’. Wendy Marijnissen’s intuitive documentary style, developed over years of capturing life in various cultural settings, complements Malika Abbas’s deeply personal art, inspired by her experiences of loss and motherhood.
Supported by the Belgian FPS Foreign Affairs, the Flemish Government, the Pakistan-Belgium-Luxembourg-Business Forum and of course the VM Gallery, this exhibition is a testament to the enduring friendship and cultural exchange between Belgium and Pakistan.
We invite all friends of both countries and every art enthusiast to join us in experiencing this captivating exhibition, which not only highlights artistic mastery but also fosters a deeper understanding of shared human experiences across diverse cultures.
