2. The World’s Loneliest Bookstore
Held at Block 7 Gillman Barracks, The World’s Loneliest Bookstore is an immersive exhibition featuring various artworks of different mediums by various artists.
The exhibition explores what it might be like when our universe finally decides to take us into it’s own arms and when we, from dust formed, are to dust, returned. It also serves as a celebration of art and love of literature, and most poignantly as a reminder that the loneliness we face as individuals is something experienced by so many others.
