TERRITOIL.

Revealing Deptford’s past to make sense of the future.

PRIVATE VIEW
Thursday 19 May 2022 | 6 - 9 PM

OPEN: Fri 20 - Tue 24 May | 12 - 6 PM

Temporarily housed in the centre of Deptford’s colonial past, a new exhibition Territoil takes a newcomers perspective on both the history and future of Creekside, much of which has been erased or will continue to be erased by gentrification and the passing of time.

Curated and conceptualised by artists Gabriela Avila Yiptong, Izzie Beirne, Beverley Duckworth, Faissal El-Malak and Paul Fox, the exhibition interprets what it means to occupy territories within diverse boundaries, from the public to the private, the physical to the digital and the metaphysical, and through reiterations of past, present and future infrastructures. Through works of sculpture, installation and painting, using elements such as live seedlings, story-telling, archival language and spiritual mappings, the artists expand the meaning of territory and allude to the invisible labour embedded in the construction and maintenance of its different forms.

Artists / Curators:

Masters of Fine Art Students at Goldsmiths, University of London and are integral members of Deptford’s rich visual arts community.
