RIPE Live:

Ripe Plums #02 / The Slow Cancellation of Practice

RIPE Live: Ripe Plums #02 / The Slow Cancellation of Practice, was a launch event celebrating RIPE artists past and present.

Ripe Plums #02 exhibition was the second in a two-part showcase of outstanding work by a group of recent graduates from Solent University and Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. The project provided an opportunity for a group of emerging artists to exhibit a recent body of work in a new space, the Alfred Arcade. The artists met, exhibited and engaged in critical debate; forming networks and friendships to help them sustain a fruitful visual arts practice here in Southampton.

RIPE alumni Maryam Zahra Kazimi also launched ‘The Slow Cancellation of Practice’, a new exhibition on display in the windows of the Hidden Wardrobe, which explored the conceptual anxiety and stasis inherently found within art practice.

The Postmen performed at the Alfred Arcade.
