    Art Festival showcase

    I give this four stars because the exhibition is pretty spectacular. It's called 'The Normal' and the first part is extremely minimalistic but hard-hitting in its exhibition - it has four boards of individuals who have told their experiences of sexual assault with one screen that features a musical performance linking with a particular story. One Sia song played in the background, lighting up the board which correlated the song and the story. Other songs included a cover of Everybody Hurts. The rest of the exhibition either is just as harrowing or visceral, or juxtaposed with light-hearted, intriguing artistry. Such as a 'honey' exhibition that demonstrates honey shown through a microscopic lens and how hypnotic becomes, how colours can be described thematically, subsequently ending with an emphasis on Black Lives Matter.
