SKETCH THE VIBE – RANJIT SINGH EXHIBITION @ WALLACE MUSEUM

Captured some moments during a visit to the Ranjit Singh exhibition at the Wallace Museum curated by Davinder Toor. Been coming here for years on & off, yet this exhibition connected more due to my own cultural roots being Punjabi. It reaffirmed the richness & abundance there once was, through the arts & way of life, and how necessary it is to continue with that very same warrior spirit Ranjit embodied & represent authentic narratives.
*The orange & aqua green hues in some of the works pop more beautifully in the flesh – testament to actually seeing things beyond the camera phone…
