Wit(h)ness: Transformative Art and Powerful Conversations at Cloudigital

Catch Cloudigital Art Gallery’s new exhibition, ‘Wit(h)ness’, a group show that explores heart and consciousness. The exhibition offers fresh perspectives on navigating deeply personal and political issues, encouraging community-building while addressing tough conversations without becoming overwhelmed.

About the exhibition

‘Wit(h)ness’ is a compelling group exhibition curated by Dylan McGarry, exploring the global and personal crises shaping our world today. ‘Poly crises’—a web of interconnected issues like war, extractivism, climate collapse, and human rights violations—are central themes, alongside more intimate struggles such as loss and trauma.

The exhibition invites viewers to witness these complex realities while fostering empathy for others’ vulnerabilities. Through diverse works from international artists, ‘Wit(h)ness’ reflects on how creativity unpacks grief, from global conflicts to personal hardships.

Call to Wit(h)ness before taking action

This exhibition offers a space of deep reflection: each artwork offers a visual cue to sit and consider the influence each individual can have on different issues of this age. Guests are encouraged to see how they can practice ‘wit(h)nessing’ to inform future choices to take meaningful action.

Through dialogue, reflection, and collective ‘Wit(h)nessing’, the exhibition seeks to ignite a sense of urgency and solidarity to create a more just and sustainable world. How? Through slow contemplation and care, as the exhibition encourages.
