“The Red Thread” holds significance in many cultures. Chinese, Latino, Judaism, Christianity and Hindu all share the same basic theme – Connectivity. Some see its representation as fate or destiny. Others, as a talisman against evil or negative energy. Wearing it is believed to attract positive energy, prosperity and good fortune. It’s also worn as a reminder to stay connected to one’s spiritual path, connection and unity. This exhibit offers us an opportunity to share our own interpretation of this “Red Thread” that flows through us and intertwines with others to weave the scarlet tapestry of our lives. Each piece must have that touch of red as a symbol of unity and solidarity within the arts community.
