Description

GRANDPAPA

a grandfather-themed art exhibition

This time, BABUSHKA makes room for GRANDPAPA.

Just this once.

We don’t romanticise old age into a sentimental caricature of cuteness, wisdom and frailty. We celebrate the absurdity and wonder of life and love in the face of impermanence.

BABUSHKA - an art project showcasing amateur, emerging and mid-career multimedia artists who explore the grandmother theme through their dimensional, innovative, and exceptional creative practices.
