Faithamins Exhibition “Into The Light”, A Path Toward Recovery
As Ramadan approaches its middle days, a space in Bandung transforms into a place to pause from the fast rhythm of the world. At The Hallway Space, the community Faithamins presents Ramadan Remedy 2026 with the theme Into The Light. The program runs from February 28 to March 10, 2026 and forms part of Faithamins’ ongoing initiative. Founded in Bandung in 2018, the community was created to provide a space for creative industry practitioners to grow and produce work grounded in knowledge and spiritual values.
The theme Into The Light emerges from the experience of living under continuous pressure. The curatorial text written by Aulia Akbar invites visitors to reconsider a simple question, when was the last time we were truly able to be kind without exhaustion, anger, suspicion, or a sense of threat. This reflection grows from what is often described as a permacrisis, a condition where economic instability, global conflict, climate crisis, and an overwhelming flow of information occur simultaneously and create a persistent sense of tension in everyday life.
In such conditions, people are still expected to keep moving and working. Beneath that expectation, the body and mind accumulate pressures that rarely receive space to be processed. Repeated exposure to suffering can also lead to compassion fatigue, a state in which empathy gradually weakens and emotions become hardened. This exhaustion often appears through seemingly ordinary behaviors such as cynicism, emotional distance, or concealed anger.
Through this exhibition, Ramadan is approached as a moment to slow down this rhythm. Fasting introduces limits, silence opens a space for reflection, and the repetition of rituals offers stability in an uncertain world. This process becomes a way to process stored emotions and allow empathy to recover.
A total of 28 artists take part in the exhibition, presenting 28 works that reflect a journey from exhaustion toward recovery. Light in this exhibition is understood as a gradual process that appears when individuals allow themselves to pause, feel, and listen.
Each work in the exhibition is available for collection. In collaboration with Explore! Humanity, every purchase will contribute to post disaster recovery efforts in Sumatra. In this way, the reflective experience inside the exhibition space connects directly with real action beyond it.
