VESSEL connects Portobello’s coastal ecologies with global questions relating to water, fracture and care in response to the climate crisis. Embracing a wide range of subjects, including collective consumption, climate-induced migration, aridity and drought, tourism, waste processing and more, the nine artists and contributors, working across a range of geographies (including one international digital residency) develop a series of interweaving projects.
Artists: Henna Asikainen, Jonathan Baxter, Huniti Goldox, Tonya McMullan, Murray Morrant, Jenny Pope, Lucas Priest, Vira Putri, Claudia Zeiske.
Writers: Isabel Perez-Ramos, Alycia Pirmohamed, Maria Sledmere (commissioned in partnership with MAP Magazine).
With introductory essays from project curator, Rosy Naylor and editor, Tom Jeffreys.
