‘NEXXUS’

17.08.23 - 16.11.23
NEXXUS is a collaborative exploration between poets, visual artists, musicians, a composer and architect.
The creative platform draws its name from the participatory act of connection between the artists as well as the causal relationship between the artworks. Voice and sound reverberate in the visual, in turn translated through the medium of space, and echoed in human connection. The cross-fertilisation between creative practices, enables the binding of concepts, knowledges, languages into a new existence.
At a time of human collision with the earth, NEXXUS confronts the dominant narratives in which great divides emerged, between nature and culture, reason and unreason, subject and object, the traditional and the modern.
In the detail of the works and performances, differentiated rhythms of change become evident, in entangled temporalities of changing relations, shapes and qualities. Viewed through a curatorial lens of fragmentation, the interventions explore whether cultural fractures rooted in trauma can be reassembled into opportunities of hybrid re-imagination.
The NEXXUS exhibition is complemented by a public programme of performances and circle-conversations. This live exchange offers the opportunity to confront and co-create alternative realities, harnessing the power of multicultural connectivity, realising we are all one.
