About the exhibition
UNSTRUCK MELODY is a collaboration between British-born Canadian artist Nirbhai (nep) Singh Sidhu and without SHAPE without FORM, first presented as part of the 2023 London Design Festival at the V&A South Kensington.
Across large-scale tapestries, mixed-media paintings and film, the exhibition explores Sikh teachings through the interconnected practices of Simran (focused practice for the mind), Seva (selfless service) and Sangat (community and gathering). Together, these works invite visitors on a transformative journey of the mind.
The exhibition takes its title from Anhad Shabad, the ‘unstruck melody’, an inner sound understood within Sikh philosophy as a pathway to deeper awareness and knowledge, accessed through deep listening and focused practice. Simran is presented as a practical tool for eliminating thought and cultivating clarity, peace and connection.
