Every day we face a deluge of information about happenings across the world that is far too much for us to process. And when self-expression falls short, look to artistes — the writers, poets, painters, sculptors, actors, dancers, musicians, singers — to help respond to and communicate your reality. Can art change a situation? Maybe not. But it can aid comprehension to facilitate action; whether it holds up a mirror to gritty reality, cleans it up to ease acceptance, or holds histories and memories lest we forget to honour them or prevent them from happening again; whether it agitates, comforts or helps grieve, without ever placating. And you’ll find a collection of varied artistic responses at Space 118’s fundraiser show Yours In Truth. With work by 20 artists from across the country, each laying down the truth of their experiences over the last few years, you’re bound to find more than a few pieces that reflect your thoughts.
