Mission Gallery is pleased to host Flow | Llif through January and February 2023. Flow | Llif began as a digital collaboration between artists in Pakistan and in Wales. Its continuation will see some of the artists travelling to work alongside each other.
As part of this, Mission will present an exhibition of new works and findings from the collaborative research of the artists. We will also host a residency at the gallery that will culminate in a public performance in January and will present artists’ events and activities including readings and workshops.
The work being shared in January and February stems from the digital collaborations of the ten artists, their joint research and development of aspects of their creative practices. It is an opportunity to share this new work with our audiences and to invite interaction with our local communities.
The ten artists work together in creative partnerships. Each partnership has been exploring very different areas of practice, including choreography and performance, sound works, textile traditions, 3D filming, poetry and painting.
The participating artists are:
Ayessha Quraishi and Mererid Hopwood
Maheen Zia and Ingrid Murphy
Rameesha Azeem and Eddie Ladd
Shanzay Subzwari and Lauren Heckler
Zohra Amarta Shah and Llio James
