The featured artworks challenge dominant perspectives and bring forward stories that have been marginalized or erased. 

Reclaiming Narratives is not just a personal journey but a collective effort. Each piece in this exhibition adds value and richness to the narrative of our collective journey towards a more inclusive culture.
