Overview
Curated by Dale Harris
Arcana is a group exhibition that explores the timeless and mysterious symbolism of the tarot through a collection of newly created artworks. Each participating artist will reimagine one or more of the 22 major arcana cards, responding to and transforming traditional archetypes.
The works will span a range of mediums and embrace a spectrum of styles from whimsical and quirky to darkly atmospheric and gothic. Together, they will form a cohesive yet diverse narrative, inviting audiences to step into a gallery that feels like walking through a living tarot deck.
Tarot imagery has fascinated artists and storytellers for centuries.
Its archetypes — the Fool’s journey, the Wheel of Fortune, the Tower’s collapse, the Star’s hope — are deeply rooted in European mythology and folklore, yet their symbolism remains universal and timeless.
Arcana will draw on this rich visual and cultural history while pushing beyond tradition. By blending mythology, mysticism, and creative expression, the exhibition transforms tarot into a living, breathing art form – one that invites audiences to find their own reflections within its symbols.
Exhibition opening times:
