Join us for an evening of conversation with Henna Asikainen to celebrate Future Pasts. This will be a chance to learn more about Henna's research and working methods, and how they relate to wider thinking around socially engaged practice. We are delighted that Henna will be joined by Maggie O'Neill, Professor in Sociology at University College Cork, who over many years has worked with artists and community groups to conduct arts based research, working together to create change.
When: Wednesday 5 July, 5.30-7pm
Where: Gallery North, Northumbria University, Sandyford Building, NE1 8QE. Meet at Gallery North and then we will walk to the Squires seminar space next to the gallery to begin the talk at 6pm.
*The best way to Gallery North is via the university campus off College Street*
Spaces are limited - please reserve your place on Eventbrite.
At the heart of Henna's practice is shared experiences exploring notions of identity and belonging, as well as our relationship to nature and landscape. The Future Pasts exhibition draws together different threads from an extraordinary project spanning three years with people new to the North East. The living legacy of Hadrian's Wall was a new starting point to explore perspectives of migration, belonging and national identity.
We invite you to meet at the gallery from 5.30 to visit the exhibition. We will then walk to the Squires seminar space next to the gallery to begin the conversation at 6pm. We'd love to make this an opportunity for discussion, and there will be plenty of time for questions and contributions from the audience.
