The gallery exhibited the works of a South Korean artist, Kyungwoo Chun called ‘Songs without lyrics’.
The works were divided into various segments like photographic, video performances and interactive.

Much of the artist’s work is based on situations and encounters that revolve around concepts of empathy, care and compassion.
The students had to interpret the artwork as they perceived it. The exhibition had layers to it and the rhythmic circulation of time was explained to the students at the end of the visit.
