Showcase: Transformative Futures Takeover Camden Art Centre, 2-3 July, all day
The Transformative Futures weekend is an opportunity for the Transformative Futures Youth Collective to present their works and findings of experimentation and material investigation across themes of embodiment, collaboration and connection.
Installation + Workshop: Collage / Commons
Collage / Commons is a deconstructed map of the Barnet Plateau, the geographic name for the area of London that spans the civic boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Harrow, Ealing and Hillingdon. It zooms-in and maps the fleshy textures of plants, waters, soils and fungi highlighting connection, community and commonality with the land and the species we co-habit with.
Installation + Workshop: More-Than-Human-Architecture
More-Than-Human-Architecture is a series of experimental ceramic sculptures designed as ‘offerings’ for the more-than-human companions we share our common spaces with. The artworks have been created for community-led growing spaces across the London Borough of Barnet on the occasion of the London Festival of Architecture 2023 in response to the theme “In Common”.
