On through to March 2024
Bermuda Wonderland is an interactive exhibition aimed at children and children at heart. Paintings, which depict each one of Bermuda’s parishes through the lens of Alice in Wonderland and the imagination of Bermuda’s best-selling children’s author, are brought to life in a virtual world.
On through to May 2024
Threads Unravelling is an exhibition by Bermudian multi-media artist Gherdai Hassell, who returns to the Bermuda National Gallery with new textile and collage works, continuing her visual exploration of identity through the lenses of language and history.
On through to March 2024
With an instinctive eye for framing the shot and playing with visual cues, Richard Saunders (Bermudian, 1922 -1987) applied an artist’s approach to documentary photography. His striking black and white photographs provide a unique way of seeing.
