Emergence

Creative Arts Exhibition at Brunswick Uniting Church – Emergence

Watch the video

As we reflect on a year passed, we look back at a year gone, but more pressingly: a present where we find ourselves anew, refreshed but wearied, learned but naïve, undisputedly different.

We have added phrases like “new normal” and “self-isolating” to our vocabulary. We have spent many more moments alone, and yet surrounded in our shared solitude. We have adapted and flexed with the ongoing uncertainty and change. We have navigated the landscape of online community faster than anybody could ever have anticipated.

So what has come of it? What can we take from this period of self-reflection and offer to our future selves – to bring forward and shape our paths? How can we take these unprecedented times and grow from them?

This year, BUC Arts invites you to reflect on the theme of Emergence for our upcoming exhibition.
