This year I cureated, edited and publish the first edition of the Art of the Second Renaissance Magazine. I choose the theme of impermanence as it's been a theme that has been with me for a long time but also because of my father's passing in January 2024. Working on the magazine was part of the grieving and transformative process.

We don't want to just talk about the 2nd Renaissance, we want to make it happen. We want to make this new culture come to live. What better way to birth a new cultural paradigm than through art?

Art is an expression of our consciousness and humanity, from the prehistoric cave paintings to the graffiti in the streets of our towns, art has always been a gateway to transformation. For our first magazine issue and exhibition we chose the theme of Impermanence. Across religions there is often the practice of sitting with the impermanent nature of life, from the five remembrance to the memento mori, these contemplation allows us to grow our wisdom and insight of inter-connectedness.
