The theme for the 2022 Mandorla Art Award is:

Metamorphosis – a profound or radical change

Reference: “I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19)

In our pandemic world people have been forced to change their behaviour, work habits, eating habits, socialising rituals, and many other aspects of life. In our contemporary world, environmental changes affect oceans, land and humankind. Artists can help us to understand the depth of these changes and open us up to new ways of seeing what is possible, what is abhorrent, what is virtuous, what is needed.

There are multiple layers in the theme for artists to explore, providing reflection and opening meaningful conversations for visitors to the exhibition.

Join us for a diverse conversation with the Theme Panel, steered by MC Mike Crichton from Sonshine FM, as we explore multiple viewpoints.
