The Travelling Gallery
SEEDLINGS: Diasporic Imaginaries
SEEDLINGS is a group exhibition exploring ways to connect with our world through other-than-human perspectives, using the seed as a means to think about and connect themes concerning ecologies and the environment. The exhibition looks to destabilise colonial systems, categories, and hierarchies, that tend to favour scientific theory and marginalise ancestral knowledges and indigenous cosmologies.
Curated with Jelena Sofronijevic and featuring work by artists Emii Alrai, Iman Datoo, Remi Jablecki, Radovan Kraguly, Zeljko Kujundzic, Leo Robinson & Amba Sayal-Bennett the exhibition brings together a variety of contemporary artistic practices, including drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and film, that reimagine our collective understandings and visions of places and times.
Travelling Gallery is available to visit Secondary or Primary schools and public locations in Lewis and Harris on 10th – 12th June.
A workshop is available for an upper Primary class. In the workshop, pupils will respond to the exhibition and notice the link between art and science. They will think about the properties of plants which they can relate to, making sketches, writing descriptive words and then doing simple printmaking and collage. The workshop will be delivered in English by Travelling Gallery Educator Jo Arksey, and is free for schools. The class doing the workshop should be the first group to visit the Travelling Gallery in the morning. The workshop will be held in the classroom or another suitable room (ideally with a sink).
