‘Chromatic Concentric Times Sequences from the Progress Pride Flag’ portrays a visual journey in which a rhythmic chromaticism, inspired by each colour of the Progress Pride flag, represents the people of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. Using colour to reflect expression of identity and generate emotions and feelings, the art works symbolise the progress of inclusion and diversity. This exhibition was presented as part of IDAHOBIT Day on Wednesday 17 May 2023.
