14th April – 4th June
A group exhibition and series of events looking at coasts, identities, landscapes, and climate action, with artists contextualizing the urgency of these topics through installations, video, photography and painting.
Taking its title from the Julie’s Bicycle seminar of the same name, On Loss and Damage brings together seven artists whose work puts the urgency of the climate crisis, what can be restored, and what can be lost into context through installation, video, photography and painting.
On Loss and Damage encourages visitors to take a hopeful look at the landscape, inspiring climate justice and sharing how artistic practice has, and will always continue to inform, encourage and advocate for a more holistic appreciation of what is at stake.
