Our lives have been altered in the face of the pandemic, accelerating fundamental change to our social, cultural and working experience. The Butterfly Effect invites us to reflect upon this era of rapid transformation by reconsidering a diverse selection of art through a new pandemic lens.
Co-curated with seniors from MAC’s Culture Club, the exhibition invites us to think about how these artists have represented change in an often complex world and how opportunities for social and cultural renewal can emerge out of the crisis.
