We are delighted to invite you to a special opening event for Always Coming Home, a solo exhibition by transmedia artist and activist Poulomi Basu, which will take place on Saturday 27 September from 6pm to 8pm. Everyone is welcome!
Always Coming Home is an immersive multi-room installation of new work that combines moving image, photography, sculpture, sound and performance to create an interactive space where different realities and speculative futures simultaneously exist, exploring the notion of exile as a shared human experience.
Basu’s diverse practice borrows from South Asian Futurism, theoretical science fiction to focus on the relationship between systems of power and bodies, particularly brown bodies. For this new installation Basu uses her own experience as an immigrant in the UK as a vehicle to investigate the complexity of transnational identity and the extended trauma of having to leave home due to violence.
