Boundless: Transitions

5 Oct-29 Oct 2023

Overview

Boundless: Transitions is an immersive multi-media interactive exhibition with a range of collateral events including: panel discussions, live & streamed, participatory guided tours, online & in person presentations to schools, an interactive local arts trail. 

The Project explores intertwined Environmental themes: how we can address the energy crisis? how can we reenvisage and reshape our urban landscapes, how do we engage with migrations and Diasporas in a planetary and a local Deptford context. 

Fion Gunn, co-lead artist describes the exhibition as “a sensory journey of exploration, where narratives of the natural world and human world coincide and collide.”

The artists will cocreate with visitors & partners, presenting stories of displacement and trade which include those of human/animal migrations, movements of ideas and beliefs, multi-perspective histories of Empire with its complex legacies and impacts. 

They want to make a difference, to enable the communities who collaborate with them to join them in reenvisaging how we view the environment, not as something external to us, but as something of which we are a part. Maureen Kendal, co-lead of the Collective said that “from the outset we have included schools, universities, community groups in the planning of the project, they will be active participants, mentored by our team so that all visitors to our exhibition can gain skills, insights and have a transformative experience of art.

The artists - Chen Mei-Tsen, Fion Gunn, Alan Hudson, Ardern Hulme-Beaman, Shoran Jiang, Maureen Kendal, Audrey Mullins, Nazia Parvez and Freddie Sanders are creating installations, 2D/3D artworks which feature interactive embedded electronics, AI generated works, projected films an immersive soundscape and olfactory elements. The exhibition will include AR pop ups accessed via free downloadable apps and a local arts trail which uses What3words geocode.

A Calendar of events will be posted on the website shortly.
