SUMMARY:Generations by Deru Anding: BSL Exhibition Tour
DESCRIPTION:For our Lost Species Day 2019 exhibition: Generations\, ONCA is hosting a free BSL interpreted tour of the show. \nGenerations is an exhibition of Deru Anding’s illustrations\, in which he shows the life of his forest community. This lifestyle and the forest have now gone. With this inspiring series of grand panoramic drawings in which he encapsulates and preserves his natural environment and community for present and future generations. \nAbout the Artist\nBorn and raised amongst the Bidayuh Tribe near the jungle in northwest Borneo\, Deru Anding moved to London in 1998 where he has since lived and worked as an Artist and Architect. Over the past two decades\, 75% of Deru’s homeland has been destroyed for palm oil plantations\, logging\, and other developments. Anding’s drawings conjure scenes of a lifestyle and community lost; his works stretch over a meter in length and are drawn entirely from memory. \nFacebook | Instagram \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:We Almost Didn’t Make It: BSL Tour & Making Session
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 6 September\, 6 – 7pm FREE \nBook your place here. \nExhibition tour and making session for D/deaf audiences as part of Beverly Naidus’ installation ‘We Almost Didn’t Make It’. \nONCA’s Director Persephone Pearl will provide a tour of the exhibition\, explaining in more detail the themes in Beverly’s work. There will then be the chance to make creative ‘artifacts’ that respond to the installation. \nThis event will be BSL Interpreted. Places are limited and booking in advance via Eventbrite is advised. If you have any specific access needs please email info@onca.org.uk. \n\nAbout Beverly Naidus and ‘We Almost Didn’t Make It’ \nThis interactive installation\, made with support from the Seattle-based ARTifACTs collective\, addresses the uncertainties faced by humanity as climate change and ongoing ecocide and environmental injustice affect many populations around the world. \nIt explores ways to negotiate the barrage of daily assaults on our psyches by imagining the lives of our descendants and what we might do to improve their lives. Visitors are offered an opportunity to transform painful emotions into fuel for creative activism. They are asked to imagine themselves as ancestors as they walk through a series of curtains to a “portal of possibilities”\, and encouraged to create an ‘artifact’ containing a commitment to an action that might help our descendants or future generations not only exist\, but thrive. A goal of the installation is to foster more dialogue about ways to move past “dystopic” thinking and support resilient activism\, no matter how discouraging things may seem.

SUMMARY:Beverly Naidus & Joan Haran: Making socially engaged art practice resilient
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 30 August 6 – 8.30pm\, FREE – book via Eventbrite \nJoin Beverly Naidus and Joan Haran at the opening event for We Almost Didn’t Make it\, an interactive installation made by Beverly with support from the Seattle-based ARTifACTs collective. \nJoan and Beverly will give talks exploring the question: ‘What makes a socially engaged art practice resilient in this time?’ \nWe Almost Didn’t Make it addresses the uncertainties faced by humanity as climate change and ongoing ecocide and environmental injustice affect many populations around the world. It explores ways to negotiate the barrage of daily assaults on our psyches by imagining the lives of our descendants and what we might do to improve their lives. A goal of the installation is to foster more dialogue about ways to move past “dystopic” thinking and support resilient activism. \nThe exhibition will be at ONCA from 29 August to 9 September as part of our Arts Council-supported summer programme Visionary Fictions. \nThis event will be BSL interpreted. \nBSL access video for exhibition and events: \n\nABOUT BEVERLY NAIDUS\nBeverly Naidus\, interdisciplinary artist\, writer and facilitator of an innovative studio arts curriculum\, has been creating interactive installations\, digital projects\, artist books and narrative drawings for over three decades. Much of her work is audience-participatory\, inviting people to tell their own stories in response to the theme being explored. Inspired by lived experience\, topics in her art focus on environmental and social issues\, including how we are individually and collectively affected by racism\, climate change and multiple forms of systemic oppression. \nShe is the author of Arts for Change: Teaching Outside the Frame\, numerous essays on socially engaged art and pedagogy and some recent pieces of speculative fiction. She has taught at several NYC museums\, Carleton College\, Cal State Long Beach\, Hampshire College\, Goddard College and the Institute for Social Ecology. She has guest lectured and led workshops all over North America and in Europe. \nhttp://www.beverlynaidus.net/ \nwww.edenreframed.blogspot.com \nAbout Joan Haran\nJoan is a Research Fellow at Cardiff University. From 2015 to 2017 she was based in the Center for the Study of Women in Society at the University of Oregon. She then returned to the University of Cardiff to take up the third and final year of her Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship in the School of Journalism\, Media and Cultural Studies. \nJoan’s current research project is “Imaginactivism”. She is developing a series of empirical case studies tracing networks of fictional cultural production and social activism as a way to theorise and flesh out the concept of imaginactivism. The concept is an alternative lens to apply to the issue of critical and everyday utopias;  feminism\, science / fiction\, racial and environmental justice are key areas of focus. In her spare time\, Joan continued to develop her manuscript Genomic Fictions and keep apprised of the public manifestations of genomics and postgenomics.

SUMMARY:Eye2Eye
DESCRIPTION:Eye2Eye is a collaborative visual arts project imagined by Omeima Mudawi-Rowlings and Miranda Ellis. \nAwarded an Arts Council England grant\, this innovative exhibition is set to explore the complex themes of deafness\, deaf & hearing spaces\, discrimination and ways of seeing and being. The work currently being undertaken by these two experienced artists will culminate in an immersive\, thought provoking installation of new work. \nPrivate View / Saturday 3rd\, 4 – 8pm \nExhibition Open / Wed – Sat\, 12 – 6pm & Sun\, 12 – 4pm \nThis unique project is enabling both artists to bring their distinctive artistic disciplines and practices into play\, exploring new directions for their work through collaboration. The artists’ media of choice – textiles for Omeima Mudawi-Rowlings\, and fused/cast glass for Miranda Ellis – will come together to present new and exciting artistic possibilities within the framework of a contemporary societal concept. \nThe merging of cultures\, influences and media promise to deliver a reflective body of work aimed at imparting the artists’ experiences to the viewer\, offering a rare insight into the lived experience of another. Central to this installation is the concept of deafness and deaf space. This is a unique aspect of the collaboration\, connecting Omeima\, herself a deaf artist (and BSL user)\, and Miranda\, also a professional interpreter. Simultaneously however\, this project also aims to include ideas about British\, European and Arabic identity\, and highlight lived experience of discrimination and difference. Given the contemporary political climate\, reflecting on these ideas is perhaps as important as it has ever been.

SUMMARY:Fuse
DESCRIPTION:FUSE is a project from the University of Brighton’s Interior Architecture students\, exploring the possibilities of re-purposing the existing fabric of urban spaces and landscapes.  \nThe London Road viaduct runs through the main axis of the city\, dominating the skyline of Brighton. Built in the 1840s for the Brighton-Lewes and Hastings Railway Company by the locomotive engineer and railway architect John Urpeth Rastrick\, the sharply curving structure has \n27 arches and around 10 million bricks. It is listed at Grade II* for its historical and architectural significance and still carries the East Coastway Line between the main station of Brighton and London Road. \nThe intention of FUSE was to provide a series of spaces for musical jams\, formation or improvised dances\, collaborations\, recordings or gigs\, enabling collaboration between musicians\, performers\, dancers and choreographers. Echoing the New York ‘high line’\, this project sought to create a cultural promenade\, fusing the multi-layered functions and history by making venues of collaborative power\, connection and intersection.

SUMMARY:EARTH at ONCA: An Evening with Chris Drury and Daro Montag
DESCRIPTION:This March\, ONCA is delighted to host EARTH\, a new commission and selected artworks by internationally acclaimed land artist and ONCA patron Chris Drury.  At 7.30pm on Saturday March 12th\, come to ONCA for a very special chance to hear Drury and fellow earth artist Daro Montag discuss their work. \nDrury’s EARTH works explore themes such as the endurance and survival of organisms in hostile environments. The collection features soil pigment works like Rhone Carmargue and Mani/Ouse alongside Destroying Angel Nevada and Cloud 9\, thought-provoking sculptural pieces made with strung earth materials.  There are gene sequence works – the Life in The Field of Death series – and works which use mushrooms as a metaphor for life\, death and regeneration.  One of the artworks is interactive – a whirlpool on the wall created by each gallery visitor adding a single muddy fingerprint to the evolving spiral. \nDaro Montag will bring his RANE-CHAR project to ONCA’s basement and courtyard as a complement to EARTH. In RANE-CHAR\, biochar (charcoal) is produced and distributed as a means of raising awareness of\, and mitigating\, climate change. Inspired by Montag’s participation in the 2009 Cape Farewell expedition to the Peruvian Andes and Amazon\, the project has since evolved to consider species extinction and carbon’s life force. \nThis event will be BSL interpreted.
