Uncharted Realities: A Journey Through Art, Migration, and Identity

Bath’s Walcot Chapel will be the home of Uncharted Realities, a new joint exhibition by artists Nadia Ryzhakova and Michele Silk. Both artists bring their migrant backgrounds into their art. Their work explores themes of migration, belonging, and identity through distinct visual styles.

Nadia’s paintings blend fluid forms with blurred memories of childhood, offering a unique perspective on how past experiences shape who we are today. In contrast, Michele’s work draws inspiration from her African roots, incorporating bold leopard motifs to explore vulnerability and the search for safety in an uncertain world.

Curated by Lilia Bakanova, Uncharted Realities invites visitors to reflect on these themes while supporting a good cause. The exhibition is in collaboration with Off The Record (OTR), a local charity that provides mental health services to young people in Bath. A donation box will be available at the venue.

A catalogue is available on request.
