Origins at Heist gallery

Ever feel like you’re marching to the beat of the same drum as the rest of the world? So does Heist gallery’s founder Mashael Al-Rushaid: “People are increasingly beginning to sound alike, act alike and believe in the same things. Despite the countless joys of modernity, globalisation strips people of their identity,” she says. Cue Origins, an exhibition of photographs depicting places and people who remain unchanged by the modern world. Images such as Jimmy Nelson’s Tibetans celebrate those who have maintained a unique sense of self despite societal pressures. The exhibition begins on the 5 March at Heist Gallery.
