We're excited to be working with FUSE Arts and artist Mikhail Karikis on a two-part workshop that further develops a work-in-progress featured in Mikhail's exhibition 'Acoustics of Resistance'. The work-in-progress and workshop looks into the impact of climate change on rising sea levels and how this will change our geographical surroundings.

In the workshop, we are going to work with the look and materials we often encounter in environmental protests here and globally. We will build on the idea of high visibility and stand-out forms that placards have in large-scale gatherings. Together,...Read More

The work-in-progress and workshop looks into the impact of climate change on rising sea levels and how this will change our geographical surroundings.

In the workshop, we are going to work with the look and materials we often encounter in environmental protests here and globally. We will build on the idea of high visibility and stand-out forms that placards have in large-scale gatherings. Together, we will consider life related to the local river and sea, learning about water pollution specific to the area, as well as examining maps forecasting the transformation of the UK and Ireland as we reach 2050. We will then add to Mikhail's exhibition, by making additional placards which will be added to the installation.

We will mark the end of the workshop with a short parade of placards on the Quay beside river Foyle.

ℹ️ This workshop is open to 16-24 year olds. If you have any access needs, please let us know by emailing cecelia@derryvoid.com.

The workshops and new work that we will create are supported by the Henry Moore Foundation.

~~~

Acoustics of Resistance is a multi-media project by Mikhail Karikis comprising of works that collectively tune into the sonorities of socio-political change and ecology. It rejoices in the transformative and healing powers of listening and sound-making while declaring that changing the course of climate change is in our hands and lies on humans learning the language of nature.

FUSE arts is a community arts producing and commissioning company, based in Derry~Londonderry, who work collaboratively to Facilitate arts opportunities that Unite communities, Support the creative infrastructure and Engage people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
