Unit X Festival launches a series of student-centred projects through which students utilise their trans-disciplinary skills and experiment new ways of working. The festival celebrates the work by undergraduate and postgraduate students across our collaborative curriculum Unit X.
Responding to the key themes ‘contest’ and “territory”, Articulated Space showcasing focuses on creating an open social space and anthropology of borders.
Opening: 5th May 2022, 18.00-21.00 pm
PROJECT CURATORS: Sophie Edmondson, Georgie Parker, Lillie Tew, Melis Yilmaz
With Sara Alwagfi; Lois Blackwell-McHugh; Eileen Bradbury; William Dobbs; Sarah Hartley; Ali Kavanagh; Rebecca Mace; Lucy Macpherson; Lynn Murphy; Alison Thomson
Venue: The Salutation pub
Brought together by the conversation of the two definitions listed above, ten artists explore the prominent thematics rooted within ‘contested territories’, seen as an acting term within the everyday. Individually, their artistic practices are a foundation for expression, working in their chosen medium to evidence their findings, many telling a story of others or their own.
Being faced with the opportunity to examine relevant connotations, exploring running themes such as the body, environment, and contention, ‘Articulated Space’ encourages you to engage in the presented topics in their entirety. This exhibition acts as a space for unpacking territories and disputes within them while navigating you through the showcase of mixed-media artworks.’
