New Religion fosters a dialogue between works of art and objects from both historical and contemporary origins. Across the exhibition, contemporary artists engage with religious imagery, belief systems, and symbolic forms to consider how ideas of faith, power, and meaning take shape. Historic modes of devotion, morality, and reverence are reimagined through contemporary materials and perspectives, creating new points of connection between past and present.
