Creative Currents: Emerging Perspective 2

Ejaz Art Gallery proudly presents ‘Creative Currents: Emerging Perspectives II’, a continuation of our commitment to spotlighting the evolving voices of young artists from the National College of Arts. This edition expands beyond the figurative to embrace a diverse range of artistic genres, reflecting the breadth of contemporary practice and the fluidity of creative expression.

Many of the works in this exhibition navigate the complexities of self-dialogue, where multiple versions of the self co-exist, interact, and evolve. Through repetition and layering, artists visualize the fragmented yet interconnected aspects of identity, memory, and emotional experience. Others turn to materiality and process as a means of engaging with time—capturing the quiet transformations embedded in everyday life, where decay and erasure are not seen as losses but as acts of renewal.

Memory, too, is a central theme, approached as both a personal archive and a shifting, mutable entity. Some works reinterpret familial and cultural histories, weaving nostalgia with contemporary reflections, while others emphasize the fluidity of remembrance, where images and emotions emerge, dissolve, and reconfigure through the act of making.

At its core, this exhibition is an exploration of transformation—whether through material processes, shifting identities, or the passage of time itself. The exhibition invites viewers to witness these moments of change, where the past is not fixed, but in constant flux, and where meaning is continually reshaped through the act of looking, remembering, and experiencing.
