St George’s Arts Centre, St George’s Shopping Centre, Gravesend

This exhibition brings together the luminous traditions of Diwali and Bandi Chhorh Dihara, two festivals that share the themes of light, freedom, and renewal. Through artworks created in art workshops at the Sri Guru Nanak Gurdwara Wellness Centre, it explores how light has long been a universal symbol of hope—guiding us from darkness to illumination, from confinement to liberation.

Visitors are invited to experience a space alive with colour, pattern, and storytelling. Stained Glass, textiles, and ceramic pieces shine with the energy of shared creativity, celebrating both heritage and imagination. Each artwork reflects not only the cultural significance of these festivals, but also the joy of making together—bridging traditions, generations, and communities.

At its heart, this exhibition is a reminder that light continues to inspire, connect, and liberate. It is a celebration of resilience, freedom, and the enduring power of collective creativity.
