Unfixed Coordinates

EXHIBITION SUMMARY Unfixed Coordinates considers how we orient ourselves when inherited systems of knowledge feel insufficient. The exhibition approaches identity as something negotiated through acts of ‘mapping,’ personal experience, and cultural memory. Moving beyond traditional cartography, the exhibition approaches mapping as a means of navigating cultural, ancestral, material, spiritual, and linguistic systems. Identity becomes something continuously negotiated through acts of mapping. The exhibition brings together painting, sculpture, textiles, installation and performance. The pieces are installed in conversation with the historic building’s old architectural elements, hidden behind freshly painted, clean white walls. From carved wood and woven surfaces to painted symbols and sculptural assemblages, the exhibition draws connections between personal histories, material practices, and the building’s former life. Selected through CasildArt Contemporary’s inaugural Curatorial Open Call, Unfixed Coordinates is an independently curated group exhibition led by curator Annabell Pu, in collaboration with assistant curator Rhea Mehta. The selected proposal has been awarded a seven-day gallery takeover. PRIVATE VIEW: Nov 26th, 6pm-9pm. Valerie Asiimwe Amani will be performing 'Meremeta' at 7:30pm. Refreshments available.
