2️⃣ Solo Exhibition Opportunity: A mentorship and development opportunity for one artist (8-month programme) leading to a solo exhibition. For an artist who have not yet had an invited solo show in a publicly funded public gallery.

Time + Space involves two distinct oppotunities:

1️⃣ Group Exhibition Opportunity: A professional development peer learning programme leading to a group show of up to four artists (11-month programme). For early-career artists who have not yet participated in an artist development programme.

A newly commissioned performance by Azpilicueta and artist and choreographer Janice Parker on Friday 22 August will connect the themes of the tapestry to Collective’s site on Calton Hill.  The exhibition will present related drawings and costumes from the performance for @edartfest’s closing weekend

The mixed-media installation references subjects including war, food economies, collective action and women-led global rights movements, including the 1917 Potato Riots in Amsterdam, and the grass roots movement of #NiUnaMenos.

The exhibition centres around a central monumental human-scale Jacquard tapestry entitled ‘Potatoes, Riots and Other Imaginaries’ (2021). Accompanying the tapestry will be a sound piece that introduces whispered gossip and glimpses of songs from social demonstrations.
