Still Glowing from Into the Wyld
We are still working through the afterglow of Into the Wyld. The energy and inspiration from this project continues to drive us forward, and we’re so grateful to everyone who engaged with the work and supported us along the way.
A Book to Bring It All Together
Since the start of the new year, we have been hard at work on an exciting new publication that brings together everything from the Into the Wyld exhibition programme. Featuring stunning photography by Benjamin Nuttall and contributions from participating artists and writers, this book will serve as both a visual and written archive of the project. We’re thrilled to announce that it will be published in September 2025 at FACT Liverpool—stay tuned for more details!
What’s Next?
Beyond the book, we’re also deep in the planning stages for a number of new projects set to unfold later this year and into 26/27. We can’t wait to share more details soon, but for now, just know that there’s a lot brewing behind the scenes. Keep an eye on our website and Substack updates to stay in the loop!
Support Our Friends at Landlines Studio
In the meantime, we highly encourage you to check out our friends at Landlines Studio as they present their latest exhibition, Un/Earthed – A Retrospective, at Williamson Art Gallery. Running from 12 February to 30 June, this exhibition showcases the incredible work of collaborative artist duo Angela Stringer and Nicky Perrin, who have spent the last five years exploring land and lineage through natural materials like sandstone, soil, clay, and botanical matter. Their work merges contemporary techniques with ancient traditions, offering an immersive glimpse into the alchemical process of turning raw earth into vibrant artistic expressions.
This exhibition is free to attend and promises to be an inspiring experience for all who visit.
We are so excited for everything that lies ahead in 2024 and beyond. Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to share more of our journey with you!
