On Paradise
02 October to 06 December
About On Paradise
Lost Edens, hoped for utopias. The idea that a better place exists haunts the human imagination.
Paradise takes form in the mind: an expression of longing, a vision that sustains, light in the darkness. Oxford-based artist Saad Qureshi invites people to describe what paradise represents or looks like to them, and translates their hopes and dreams into sculptural mindscapes.
On Paradise features recent and newly commissioned works by Qureshi, including pieces inspired by the paradisial imaginings of communities in Oxford. Curated by anthropologist Paul Basu, Qureshi’s remarkable works are juxtaposed with historical objects drawn from the University collections.
