Conglomerates is an exhibition featuring selected film, sculpture and textile works by artists Paola Bascón, Rhiannon Hunter, Rona Lee, Hannah Morgan, Davinia-Ann Robinson and Sam Williams. The distinct artworks come together to create a dialogue within an expanded matrix of ecology, care and multi-species liveability. The exhibition explores care formed through relations with self and other beings that provide openings into worlds that move beyond selfhood to create substrates for resistance, deep-knowing, storying, and kinning as processes of paying attention to that which is unheard.
