GLOAM presents: Embers
The exhibition connects four artists, exploring representation of lived experiences within the wider context of the current climate. Familiar aesthetics and recognisable artefacts reminiscent of shared heritage are recontextualised, through image making and sculpture, creating fictional narratives deriving from memory and contemporary tropes.
Embers rekindles notions of memory and loss, igniting conversation around politics and cultural identity through depictions of socio-economic structures within post industrial environments.
An expansion of the exhibition continues at The Lord Nelson, bridging communities and ideas around collective organisation.
Opening Night: 04 October, 2024
