“Transformative Journeys in Mentorship” is an exhibition that challenges traditional educational paradigms by promoting personal and communal growth through mentorship. The showcased works, created by artists who participated in the Unlearn to Learn mentorship program, highlight the profound impact of mentorship in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and community dialogue.
The selected body of work spans diverse mediums and subject matters,
reflecting how unlearning preconceived notions and embracing new perspectives can ignite artistic and personal transformation.
This project is sponsored by the National Arts Council and the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture.
