‘Afriku’ Slow Art Exhibition

Celebrate Slow Art 2025 with a free, mindful art experience at MelonRouge’s Artichoke Gallery.

This event invites guests to explore the "Afriku: Slow Visions and Whispered Words" exhibition, where African art meets Japanese Haiku in a serene, contemplative setting. Visitors can take their time to view the curated artworks, paired with Haiku poetry, slowly and intentionally as part of the global Slow Art Day movement.

This fusion of cultural expressions aims to create a space where slow observation sparks poetic creativity, aligning with Slow Art Day’s global mission to foster mindful engagement with art. Japanese and African culture meets in a unique and creative way that is accessible not only to art and poetry lovers but also enables the general public to have fun and be creative in a fresh, informal way.

No cost, no rush— just a chance to connect with art and poetry at one's own pace.
