Sojourner Gallery is pleased to announce our latest interactive exhibition – Attention! Please Scan! This exhibition deviates from convention, this exhibition transcends the passive observation of physical artworks commonly found in traditional galleries. Instead, it actively prompts and encourages increased communication and engagement among its audiences. Viewers are prompted to scan the QR codes with their mobile devices, which then reveal the digital representation of the artwork. This shift from physical presence to digital representation subverts the traditional gallery experience by incorporating a layer of virtual and interactive engagement. Each artwork explores the prevailing societal issues that resonate deeply within our shared awareness, encompassing the intricate interplay between technology and human existence, the nuanced exploration of femininity and the complexities of identity crises, as well as the intangible cultural heritage and timeless traditions. This exhibition aspires to propel the art space into fulfilling its utmost social role, serving as a catalyst for critical discourse and thought-provoking dialogue.
