Breaching the Boundary
Our exhibition explores the main festival’s key strands of concern; climate, protest and rebellion and imperial legacy, under the title of Breaching the Boundary. We investigate the estuary’s role not only in a historical/militaristic sense, but also as a borderline, as a frontier in ongoing conflicts such as climate change and development.
Jon has made a series of pieces exploring the sentinel like Army Forts in the estuary. The forts were constructed in Gravesend, however it is a history that is becoming forgotten.
Mercedes will be producing some new works which respond to the constant state of motion of the estuary.
