Alluding to a climate of change and the action of moving, Transfer examines the ambivalence of transitory processes and the experience of being in-between.
Tis exhibition presents photo-media works by seven global artists who consider themes such as migration, nomadism and environmental changes. The exhibition questions the concepts of home and belonging in relation to our idea of place as an ultimate and definite prospect. Implicitly conceived in response to the ACP’s state of transition during 2016, Transfer ultimately interrogates our abilities to adjust and locate ourselves within evolving contexts.
