In June 2024, super/collider were invited by Dr Jessica Potter, Researcher and MA Photography Tutor at the Royal College of Art, to the Making of a Meadow event. super/collider led moon gazing and experimental sound workshops.

Making of a Meadow brought together artists and researchers working at the intersection of practice-based research in the arts with ecology and restorative methodologies. With a focus on combined fieldwork in the Kent Downs National Landscapes, the event shared practices in order to identify interdisciplinary and experimental modes of conducting, evaluating and disseminating field research. Making of a Meadow aimed to develop “attentive methodologies”, with a focus on how we might care for a region of immense bio and geo diversity, it asks: how can we listen to the land, speaking not just for it, but with it?

We met at Rebel Farm Kent, for 24 hours of workshops spanning the different lights and spaces of the local landscape, drawing on current ecologies of practice that are sensitive and attentive to biodiverse habitats.

| ✨ What's on at SPACE Ilford 'Changing Currents' launch event, Wed 8 Feb, 4 – 7.30pm ✨ |

We are excited to announce the launch of our new exhibition 'Changing currents – can we build a better world together?' co-created by Arup with Beal High School students, Andrew Brown, the River Roding Trust and super/collider.

Inspired by Arup’s commitment to consider the influence of the built environment on the natural world, the students drew on the differing experiences of time, scale and senses to explore the river from the perspectives of both human and non-human animals. The exhibition is the result of their research, and invites visitors to consider the actions we can all take to shape a better world for ourselves and our future.

Join us in the gallery for refreshments from 4 – 7.30pm

ℹ️ Exhibition February – June 2023.

Gallery open Weds 11-5, Sat 11-3

📍10 Oakfield Rd, IG1 1ZJ (rear of Redbridge Town Hall opposite Central Library)
