The show officially opened on the 17th of February and will end on March 6th. The artworks collectively shed light on subjects from social injustice to eco-sustainability. Weir’s works show the violence of these problems in the form of beautiful visuals, and it is evident that she has a passion to voice her concerns for these subject matters.
