We invite you to immerse yourself within the narrative of Fragile Strength with a Curatorial Walk, hosted by curator Vikas Garg, at The Minories Art Gallery.

Date: 28th June 2025

Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Join us for an inspiring afternoon where we explore the powerful themes of masculinity, vulnerability, and resilience through the eyes of Mario Navado, Johnson Tsoku Maela, Ruben Hamlyn, Maksaens Denis, Chetan Bhakuni and Rohan Hande.

During this guided walk, Vikas will share the ideas, creative journeys, and deeper meanings behind the artworks, providing you with an insider’s view into how art can spark vital conversations around mental health.

Fragile Strength Curatorial Walk will connect you with the essence of the exhibition like never before. Whether you're an art lover, a curious mind, or someone passionate about mental well-being.
