5pm Friday 19 September
Join us for an interesting and insightful talk with award winning video, sculpture and installation artist Gail Hocking. Gail will tell the story of her experiences during a recent lived climatic catastrophe in which the audible sound of the Earths P wave caused intense fear, panic and vulnerability.
This experience led to the creation of this new body of work A Tremble, A Tug, A Telling – an immersive installation of moving image and sound that explores the complex entwinement between our bodies and nonhuman phenomena.
This is a free event with refreshments no bookings required, all are welcome.
