Hinterlands – exhibition

Published by

Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Newcastle, UK opens 22.10.22 | PV 21.10.22 18:00-20:00 Hinterlands is a group exhibition that invites us to consider our relationship with the land and its ecosystems. The artists showcased explore complex histories, mythologies, legacies and potential futures for its custodianship. The show considers the landscape of the North East, its histories, mythologies and legacies and potential futures for custodianship. New commissions and existing works by artists connected with the area reflect on ideas of rootedness and belonging, human and more-than-human relationships, boundaries, land and time in the era of the climate emergency.

Artists: Michele Allen, Uma Breakdown, Jo …
