Exhibitions

The Eva and Marc Besen Contemporary Artist Commission I could have danced all night is a deeply personal exhibition inspired by Danielle Brustman’s grandmothers, Marta & Dora. The evocative showcase, inspired by family, music & heritage, invites visitors to immerse themselves in memory, language & song. It is a timely exploration of themes such as legacy, identity & the power of objects to hold & share stories.
