feel through the deepness to see

We journey below ground, where plants and animals gather and try to make sense of the activities of machines that labour above.

In feel through the deepness to see, a new immersive exhibition by celebrated media and performance artist Rita McKeough (Associate Professor, Media Arts), we journey below ground, where plants and animals gather and try to make sense of the activities of machines that labour above. Together, we are invited to imagine interspecies relationships beyond the destructive exploitation of extractive industrialism.

The exhibition is the third iteration of a series, including darkness is as deep as the darkness is, curated by Jacqueline Bell at the Walter Philips Gallery, and dig as deep as the darkness, curated by Dylan McHugh for the Richmond Art Gallery
