A solo exhibition by Gabi Mind with painting, collage and cyanotype which maps a lifelong migration down the estuary, from London to Whitstable.
As an arts educator and as part of the exhibition, the artist is also running 2 workshops for children and young people. The workshops are looking at the idea of human and animal migration due climate change. Participants will be making costumes and masks.
The exhibition is housed at the Beach Creative, in the Marcel Gallery and Duchamp Gallery, and is part of the 'The Herds' Beach Creative project, which links 43 museums, galleries and historic houses across the UK, with a focus on the them of global climate change. The Herds brings together artistic events, workshops and educational activities to the local community to inspire the next generation and deepen connections with the natural world.
