Book Launch: plant a forest after were gone by gobscure / burn and friends

About the Event 

book-launch of plant a forest after we are gone by gobscure/burn with live readings, film and audio work on display in the gallery by the artist.

radical photographic self-portraiture accompanied by prose-poems from someone in the clinically extremely vulnerable (shielding) group during the pandemic. furthering our solo self-portrait exhibition at at Alma Zevi Venice we focus on details – mainly our scars, coupled with backyard details (mainly growth). though acknowledging fragility it is intended as beautiful, haunting and defiant.

there will also be a reading of a new text by eddie doyle and some food by purplestateofmind,  inspired by gobscure/burn’s new book.

alongside other art and food, come help fill NewBridge windows with liquid chalk love too

Commissioned and supported by Unlimited, celebrating the work of disabled artists, with funding from Arts Council England.
