A ‘Taste’ exhibition will be on display at Malja, Amwaj Islands until August 30. It features a collection of experiments by a group of artists in an effort to synthesise through art.

Unified under the notion of ‘identity’, each artist chose to transform an object into another sense other than the obvious sense perceived from it. The aim is to push boundaries of imagination and to allow brains to wander and experiment without expectations.
