A solo exhibition about place, memory, identity and belonging.
Preview, performance, party // Friday 16th // 7:00pm - midnight
Alongside Andrade's exhibition, on the evening of the 16th May KIT FORM will be a space for artists to share and test, experiment, and share new work. Expect moving image, music and audio, spoken word, singing - the weirder the better.
Talk & Share day // Saturday 17th // 12:00pm - 6:00pm
Andrade's exhibition no place like home questions what it means to be from somewhere, migration, belonging, class, memory, identity and home. We would like to hear from you, about your experiences. We invite you to join us in the gallery to share with us your answer to the question 'can you tell me where you come from?'
The answers collected will be made into a publication, which you will get a copy of.
Cliff will be in KIT FORM all day, and you can come any time between 12:00pm and 6:00pm
