Embodied Lines

Unclear exhibition at the Science Gallery at King’s College exploring issues around migration and violence.

The commentary says it “uses arts-based methods to explore how different types of violence at intimate, urban and national levels are experienced through the body.” This was all very worthy and probably a good representation of some research but it needed to be shown in a more engaging and accessible way. Where it was positioned, it was only going to get a short term, passing audience so it needed to have a more immediate effect.

I mainly looked at the photographs which compared South London with Israeli-Palestinian areas. I’m not sure I got a sense of violence from them just of ugliness and harsh environments. There were some good pictures though.

There are some videos but I didn’t have time to engage with them. From the commentary I think they were about Latin American migrants to the UK.

No end date given but i would assume early September from dates when new things start
