HOW WE TELL THE STORY

Art illuminates history.
It does not replace it.

01

Identified artworks

A title, attribution, period and source. Museum discoveries are not presented as products already on sale.

02

Multiple perspectives

Documented history, religious narratives and the perspectives of traditions are distinguished without deciding which belief is the right one.

EXPANDING THE JOURNEY

The research continues.

The aim is to introduce further traditions with their own narratives and appropriate works. These histories are not yet ready for publication.
