Futures After Collective

In the former Peacocks in Catford high street, 40 local and international artists – the Futures_after collective are launching their exhibition of works that reflect on what value exchange means within our highstreets, reimagining how we connect with our economic, ecological and social environments during these unprecedented times. Through performances, participatory practises, film and installations, the works on show pivot around post-capitalist idea(l)s, future imaginaries and participatory practises, taking advantage of the former retail space as a place for exchange and dialogue during free workshops and events. The artists met at local university, Goldsmiths Masters in Fine Art programme.

Questions around the ‘Suburban Dream’ and it’s legacy emerge in Catford based artist Madeleine Famurewa’s soft sculptures inspired by Catford’s architecture, local artist Rhiannon Hunter’s filmworks capture urban wilderness as a space for reciprocity amidst ‘progress’, Beverley Duckworth sows seedlings into recycled fast fashion, Salman Khoshroo creates sculptures from shop debris, whilst Moritz Tibes and Sophie Sekine critically investigate proposals for alternative economic structures via video and participation.
