RIPE LIVE:

In Between

Roadmap: Are we nearly there yet?

This event was an opportunity to 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.

🍋 ‘Roadmap: Are we nearly there yet?’ was an exhibition speaking to the pressing matters impacting artistic and community spaces. It critically considered 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.
