Ketna Patel, a British Kenyan Indian artist, navigates the
complex terrains of cultural identity and belonging with a boldness that is as
vibrant as it is thought-provoking. In this exhibition, Patel explores the
multifaceted concept of "space"—social, political, and
cultural—through a rich tapestry of imagery drawn from mythology, politics, and
everyday life. By juxtaposing iconic figures and archetypal symbols in satirical
contexts, she invites viewers into a dynamic conversation on how identity is
constructed, contested, and negotiated within the intersections of history,
culture, and personal experience.

London Art Lovers: Harrow is a vibrant tapestry of subcultures, each with its own complex background. As Britain steps into a future increasingly influenced by Asia, fostering connections between diverse communities and their countries of origin is crucial. I'm excited to be a proud member of the local Arts community of HARROW OPEN STUDIOS (HOS), where 47 artists in the Borough of Harrow will open their homes and studios to the public from June 8th to 23rd, 2024.

Engaging in meaningful dialogue and interaction is key to building trust and curiosity, breaking down prejudices and paving the way for fruitful partnerships and collaborative projects.
