Join us for the exhibition preview of pass shadow, whisper shade, which brings together new work by the six participants in the 2024 Satellites Programme: Clarinda Tse, Emelia Kerr Beale, Hannan Jones, Josie KO, Katherine Fay Allan and Rowan Markson.
The title borrows from an Irish proverb, 'Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine', roughly translating as 'people live in each other’s shadows', or, ‘we rely on each other for shelter.’ Both a shade and a shadow, this kind of shelter encompasses the positive and negative aspects of being part of a community, living in the shadow of each other and our ancestors.
Across a range of distinctive and individual practices and media, the works signal something of the complexity of inheritance, raising questions of how we process and make sense of that which we inherit, the expansive multiplicity of legacies passed down by and through earlier generations – be that material, cultural, genetic or spiritual, wanted and unwanted – and how this informs how we inhabit ourselves and the world in the present day and into the future.
The exhibition will run from 18 October - 22 December 2024.
Refreshments will be served and access information about our site can be found here.
