"Are We Nearly There Yet?" — a question often asked with impatience, curiosity, or the wishful anticipation of a destination to come — serves as the point of departure for Medusa’s exhibition on cultural memory. While image trends may fade quickly, certain visual tropes endure, holding lasting significance for a generation’s coming-of-age.
From cartoons and pop culture artifacts to the aesthetic markers of the “naïve” — bold colours, simple forms, and graphic minimalism — these icons hold meaning beyond their brief appearances.The works on view deliberately nod to such iconography. Yet, rather than retreating into the sentimentality of the past, the exhibition considers how playful imagery and visual silliness carry not only themes of longing, liminality, and coming-of-age but layers of critique that address “adult” systems of power and the structures of modernity. Are We Nearly There Yet? is therefore less about expecting an answer and more concerned with the process of gaining credibility in what is so often rendered “childlike” in contemporary life.
