ShrineShare is a British Council-funded collection of drawn works by six UK and ten Malaysian artists to share their visions of sacred shrines—be they ancient, personal, or imagined.  From an arcade cabinet to a lonely rock cairn to a collection of talismanic artefacts from the artist’s studio. What do we hold sacred in times of crisis?

The artists: Amze Emmons, Arif Rafhan, Bethany Balan, Betti Stong, David Blandy, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Daniel Locke, Hardeep Pandhal, Jamie Oon Muxian, Jesse Joy, John Powell-Jones, Nadhir Nor, Petra Szemán, Ruangtup Kaeokamechun, Rupa Subramaniam & Shaifuddin Mamat @ Poodien
