VN Residents Alejandra, Amy, and Ghiya are delighted to invite you to a unique art exhibition, "The Lightness of Being" featuring the captivating works of three artists—Alejandra Abad, Amy Ang, and Ghiya Haidar. This exhibition is the culmination of a serendipitous meeting of kindred spirits from three different continents, united in Zurich, Switzerland.

Alejandra Abad, of Ecuadorian origin, Ghiya Haidar, with roots in Lebanon, and Amy Ang, hailing from Singapore, bring together their diverse cultural heritages and Swiss influences to explore the theme of lightness. Their art is a reflection of their journeys, where the weight of their experiences is uplifted by the lightness of creativity, community, and connection.

Beyond aesthetics, this exhibition carries a deeper purpose: 5% of all proceeds from the sale of artworks will be donated to Cuisine Sans Frontières, an organization dedicated to using gastronomy for social impact, with active projects in Ecuador and Lebanon.

‍

We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring exhibition and sharing the lightness of being with you.
