Entangled Alignment was an exhibition at the Curious Tower garden-gallery in Nottingham which I run with Chaos Magic. I invited Shivani as a guest curator, and we co-created a group show featuring 12 amazing artists, as well as making a publication weaving together words and images from the artists.

Here's the press release:

 

An entangled alignment
A breaking of silences
Throat and heart as one
I knit together my scar tissue
By being seen, by surrendering
By coming back to
A corporeal joy
A wonder at witnessing

An exhibition of artworks delving into an entangled alignment - becoming enmeshed in an ecosystem, recognising the dappled interplay of light and dark as integral to our own selves, and allowing this network of aliveness to guide us.

Reflecting these systems and processes, we are collectively exploring how artists can come together in new ways through sharing, talking and collaboration at the Curious Tower garden - an inner-city permaculture haven with a Victorian folly linking to the underbelly of the city.

Through this eccentric enmeshment, we hold each other, in alignment. We create the space to see each other in our conflicting perspectives, our mulchy messiness, the joy of our personal sovereignty. We uncover voices, symbols and ways of seeing that were previously unimaginable. We see that healing encompasses the process as well as the fruits of it.
