LORE

GROUP SHOW

with

Diana Ruban and Sophie Vallance Cantor

RHODES CONTEMPORARY , LONDON

OCTOBER 2025

Drawing on folkloric storytelling, spirituality, and personal mythologies, Lore explores the ceremonies that shape how we live. While their approaches vary, the artists’ works share a sense of otherworldliness, creating spaces of comfort, safety, and quiet reflection.

Lore names the stories we inherit; law names the rules we live by. Between them lies the way we organise a life; the small covenants, symbols, and practices that hold meaning. Through their distinct perspectives, Ruban, Hamer, and Vallance Cantor transform folk themes into living grammars, where ritual becomes personal and the mystical folds seamlessly into the everyday.
