Opening Event – Through a Glass Darkly, Ngo Chun Tse

Join us on Thursday 5 December to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition.

Through a Glass Darkly explores themes of displacement and existential uncertainty will pull viewers into the disquiet of diaspora. Carrying the weight of silenced histories, the muted environment is also layered with shifting imagery that mirrors the inner landscape of dislocation and resilience.

Ngo Chun Tse is an artist on Metroland Cultures’ Peer-to-Peer programme, where the gallery is used to test new work and as a site of further production.

You can book your ticket now via eventbrite for this opening event. All of the exhibtions and opening events at Metroland are free and open to everyone.
