Storytellers is a captivating group exhibition that celebrates the profound connection between art and storytelling . Through the works of 23 Kent-based contemporary artists across various disciplines , Storytellers explores the idea that artworks convey narratives , trigger emotions and inspire discussions . Stories possess the remarkable ability to forge emotional connections and impact people ’ s perceptions of the world . While the visual appeal of artworks is undoubtedly important in its own right , we need to recognise that each piece often contributes to a larger narrative .
