Exposition

Hierophany: Hauntings & Homecoming

We are pleased to present an immersive exhibition by photographer and filmmaker Khaliyesha B. Minishi.

Prompted by a dream, the artist returns to her birth home, initiating a deeply personal exploration of memory, belonging, and spiritual reconnection. Through this journey, she reconnects with the sacred, revealing a deeper spiritual reality within the material world.

Expressed through a series of photographs and video works, Hierophany unfolds as a process of reweaving inherited lineage narratives, blending past and present into a layered and evocative visual language.

Moving beyond traditional exhibition formats, the project expands into an immersive, transdisciplinary experience combining image, film, live performance, and sound. The work invites audiences into a contemplative space where memory, hauntings, and reminiscences intersect.

Opening Event

Thursday, 22 May at 6:30 pm

The opening evening will feature a premiere performance in which the artist brings together photography, film, live dance, and choral music into a transformative journey.

A highlight of the evening will be Elements by Katerina Gimons, performed by a chorale ensemble alongside female percussionists, creating a powerful dialogue between voice, rhythm, and moving image.
