Theresa Renando: Re-imagining Narratives

Overview

When it comes to a piece of gallery curated art, half its story tends to lie in its caption – where, when and how it was painted, and what the artist was trying to say. And there’s no artist who understands the powerful connection between story, text and art better than Dr Theresa Renando.

Jugglers Art Space’s newest exhibition, Re-imagining Narratives, is a culmination of the appreciative inquiry doctoral research project by Renando. Her research is presented via visual and narrative forms, at the hands of an exploration of the stories of 479 people their personal spirituality and what an ideal form of spirituality might look like in the future. This deep, well rounded perspective into theology, cultural studies and of course art, is as rich as it is strange, and is a window into how and why the everyday tends to reflect moments of obscurity. There is a welcome deepness and intense thoroughness to Renando’s work, one that she has long been personally exploring as a researcher, facilitator of learning and mixed media artist.

Catch the opening of this exhibition on Friday, July 11, at 6pm, or trek along during the gallery’s opening hours till June 21.
