An exhibition of commissions by artists, collectives, schools and young people all made for touch and collaboration, and to celebrate the vital movements of life.
Movements for Staying Alive brings together new commissions alongside recent and historical works, which value the importance of movement as a means to learn, connect, and foster a sense of community. Rather than focusing solely on visual experience, this exhibition encourages you to engage with the artworks through your body. Together, the artworks create an environment that prioritises the bodily experience of space, ideas, and artwork, rather than privileging sight over other senses.
The artworks on display serve as a reminder that all bodies play an active role in creating, sharing, and understanding knowledge, as well as the potential that exists when we consider our bodies and environments as constantly in motion. Highlighting the choreography of everyday life, these galleries are a space for collective creation, shared knowledge, and celebratory movement, exploring both what keeps us alive and what makes us feel alive.
