Six Ways Out Of The Desert Residency
Friday 24 October 1pm
Free
Six of Contact’s most exciting emerging artists have been working with Artistic Director John E. McGrath to explore and create stories inspired by the idea of the desert. A place of prophecy, discovery and journeys; a place where lives are lost and truth is found, the desert lives in all our imaginations.
For the month of October these six artists – Ali Gadema, Borhan Mohammadi, Natalie Burt, Nikky Norton, Niven Ganner and Samira Arhin-Acquah will be Artists In Residence at Contact. Their ideas, images and stories will appear at unexpected times in unexpected places, so watch out!
You can see ideas develop at the Six Ways Out of the Desert blog www.sixwaysout.com and a sharing of their work will take place on Friday 24 October 2008.
The Six Ways Out... resident artists will also be collaborating with designers Emma Wee, Dan Steel and Mark Distin.
