"Journey of a Manuscript" traces the life of a text as it separates from its author and seeks new forms of embodiment.
Presented across four interconnected halls, the exhibition unfolds through painting, sculpture, photography, projection and digital work — revealing how writing migrates across bodies, materials and environments, transforming itself and those who
encounter it.

The project examines authorship, vulnerability and the shifting corporeality of language within contemporary culture.
The exhibition spans four thematic halls, each exploring a distinct stage in the manuscript’s transformation:
Together, these halls form a narrative in which writing becomes a living body, moving through different environments, materials and states of consciousness.

Shaura Gallery’s upcoming programme brings together projects that explore new forms of corporeality, perception and textual materiality. These forthcoming series move in different directions, from projections that turn text into a body (Bodies for the Text), to architectures of care and early vulnerability (Architectures of Care), to hidden systems and urban organisms (Hidden Systems), and the mechanics of gesture and repetition (Sweeping Pendulum). Together, they continue the gallery’s central line of inquiry: how language, space, the body and technology generate one another and form new modes of seeing, feeling and thinking.
In contrast to the current exhibition, where the manuscript undergoes its own journey, the upcoming series broaden the field of investigation. They shift from skin to fur, from childhood symbolism to urban structure, from intimate measurements of the body to architectures of memory, and from digital mark-making to mechanical motion. These projects are in development, and their preliminary materials offer an insight into the evolving artistic logic of the exhibitions to come.
The Upcoming Exhibition section serves as a window into the gallery’s future spaces, into projects that will soon unfold as independent exhibitions and continue the exploration of the relationships between text, body, environment and technology.
