Boundless: Transitions

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.

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

BOUNDLESS: TRANSITIONS is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and sponsorship from Greenwings Project.
