Eleven international and UK based artists have come together to offer explorations into various aspects of subjectivity and our relationship to the environment around us.  

The works question our perceptions, cultural expectations, experiences and the influences that inform who we are. Some works cast a critical eye over power and knowledge systems that cause behaviours that affect our sense of self, our agency and our connection to community, other species and the natural world. Other pieces explore consciousness, emotion, isolation, memory and material to gain insight and understanding into our own existence.
