Misk Art Institute’s spring exhibition takes its title from a poem by Kae Tempest which forces us to question how we have become detached from our history. The exhibition aims to interweave the past with the present through stories passed down through oral and material culture, while considering how traditional and ancient practices have influence contemporary culture.
