EXHIITION | The Families, Out of Law

The Families, Out of Law is a bold group exhibition that questions the meaning of family in today’s context. The display — which includes paintings, an installation, and photographs — explores different types of families, such as those who are underprivileged. It also spotlights refugees, the LGBTQI+ community and immigrant families who are often pushed out of medical, educational, housing and social benefit realms and essentially rendered invisible in the very society we live in. Check out the works, of which are created by acclaimed artists: Eduardo Enrique, Iqi Qoror, Leonard Suryajaya and Nguyen Quoc Dzung.
