Join us to celebrate the opening of Metroland Cultures’ Peer-to-Peer artist Francesca Telling’s new exhibition, Emergency.
Francesca Telling is an artist, facilitator and learning practitioner. Her practice investigates how the social histories of displaced communities are seen in objects and images.
In this exhibition, Francesca offers a study of education, linguistics and colonialism from the archives of a 1950s British-Malayan teaching experiment in Kirkby, Merseyside, to the fragmented records of learning found in a family archive. Composed of collages, photography, prints and analogue time-based media, the exhibition draws on the materials and aesthetic languages of educational environments.
Book your ticket via eventbrite for this opening event. All of the exhibtions and opening events at Metroland are free, and everyone is welcome.
