Join us for the launch of two new exhibitions, In Between by Winchester School of Art MA Fine Art students and Roadmap: Are we nearly there yet? by ZEST Collective

🔴 Explore our most recent exhibition at the Alfred Arcade, In Between by Winchester School of Art MA Fine Art students. The Alfred Arcade, once a bustling shopping arcade that was later severed by urban planning, has been revitalised as an art space that carries change, rupture and reinvention. It is against this backdrop that the exhibition In Between unfolds, exploring the fluidity of identity, memory and reality.

🍋 Preview a new exhibition at the Hidden Wardrobe by ZEST Collective. ‘Roadmap: Are we nearly there yet?’ is an exhibition speaking to the pressing matters impacting artistic and community spaces. It critically considers local and regional issues of gentrification, whilst advocating for the importance of playful encounters that art practice can activate to reimagine the creative and cultural significance of places like Old Northam Road.

🎵 Music will be provided at the Alfred Arms by Southampton-based music collective, Address.

🍺 Drinks will be served at the Alfred Arcade and the Alfred Arms from 6pm – 10pm.
