The Art of Changemakers multidisciplinary exhibition features photography, poetry, and storytelling and is a visual and poetical reflection on the stories of human rights defenders today. The Art of Changemakers highlights the stories of the five inspirational human rights defenders honoured in 2024 for the Front Line Defenders Annual Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk. This is a collaborative exhibition between Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality and Front Line Defenders. Artist Mary Moynihan has created a series of poetry and ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ statements combining text and photographic imagery to accompany the stories of the five human rights defenders. The artistic work and stories are a celebration of the work of human rights defenders and a reflection on peace, equality and human rights.

Landscapes of the Soul is an exciting new multidisciplinary exhibition by two artists, Mary Moynihan and Hina Khan, featuring visual art, photography, poetry and film mapping physical landscapes of nature to landscapes of the soul reflecting on ways to hold on to the courage to be who we truly are and to let ourselves shine. The exhibition brings together visual imagery and poetry to reflect on meaning-making and pathways of expression, mapping physical landscapes of nature to human emotions from grief and longing to inner peace, spirituality and love. The exhibition runs Wednesday 2 October – Sunday 3 November, Wednesday – Sunday, 10.30am – 5pm.
