As part of the exhibition Rites for a New World, 198 Contemporary Arts & Learning presents a series of events that expand on the exhibition’s themes of ritual, resistance, and speculative futures. Bringing together artists, curators, and the wider public, these gatherings invite deeper engagement with the creative processes, ideas, and lived experiences that shape the works on show.
Through conversation, reading, and collective reflection, the programme offers multiple ways to inhabit and respond to the worlds being built within the gallery.
This informal walkthrough offers the opportunity to hear directly from the artists as they reflect on the development of their work, and both the personal and political concerns driving their individual practices, alongside ideas and research that underpin the exhibition.
Each artist will speak in their gallery space, offering insights into their distinct yet interwoven explorations of ritual, resistance, and speculative futures.
All are welcome.
