Slow Read exhibition asks us to ditch doom-scrolling for art

The Slow Read exhibition at Hawthorn Arts Centre challenges viewers to slow down and engage deeply with art crafted from books and paper. It's not just an art show but a plea to combat the fast-paced, often mindless consumption of digital media, encouraging a return to mindful, reflective experiences. With our constant exposure to digital distractions, this exhibition is a timely reminder of the value of thoughtful engagement and the richness of immersive, tactile art. It's a creative push towards a more intentional way of interacting with our surroundings.
