Portals to Unwritten Time begins with the premise that art can serve as a threshold across time. The works in the exhibition open new portals—toward spirit, memory, myth, and philosophical knowledge.

The participating artists do not only look ahead; they move sideways through history, delve into the body, and project outward toward the unknown.

A guiding inspiration for this journey is Hilma af Klint. For her, time did not flow in a straight line but spiraled—mystically, symbolically, through unseen realms. She envisioned her paintings as tools, diagrams, and portals—structures meant to speak one day to a more receptive future.

The portal, in this context, is both metaphor and method. It is a visual and conceptual threshold—a symbolic opening through which new forms of knowledge may emerge. That knowledge is nonlinear, embodied, and often poetic—born of intuition, memory, and the
invisible.

Theresa Weber creates rich, symbol-filled environments that function as sacred archives. Her works blend Afro-diasporic iconography with science, forming ritual spaces where ancestral, futuristic, and mythic energies converge—portals of remembrance and projection.
