FACETS OF A COMMUNITY
We were commissioned by the internationally acclaimed artist Faisal Abdu’Allah to produce a series of photographs for the Facets of a Community project. Working with the Golden Oldies elders project in Walworth, as well as with students from Camberwell College of Arts.
Abdu'Allah created a dynamic exhibition that explores what it means to be part of a community. The exhibition includes a new series of Jacquard woven tapestries made in collaboration with the Magnolia Editions, California and their mill in Belgium, depicting members of the community groups.
The tapestries are presented alongside materials generated by the community groups in various printed and ephemeral forms, creating a shifting repository of thoughts, stories and images that will gradually populate the gallery over the course of the exhibition. The exhibition invites questions about the role of high and low print and craft techniques in influencing perceptions of the messages presented.
