The River Severn is a unique ecological and cultural locus which draws on verdant mythologies, post-industrial undercurrents and the quietness of decommissioning nuclear imaginaries. The ‘worlding’ of the Severn (after Donna Haraway) attends to experiences, fragments, encounters, and places in an active engagement with the materiality and contexts of these interactions. It features artists Carolyn Black, Patricia Brien, Tara Downs, Su Fahy, Mair Hughes, and poet JLM Morton (with Joff Elphick & Oohagh Davies)
“The works in this exhibition articulate a sense of reciprocus in becoming with the flux of the River Severn and its environs.
It is a fluid and continuing speculation on the lifeworlds, materiality, rhythm, ritual and myth-making with the creative potential of attending to the multiple temporalities of place.”- Patricia Brien, curator of Severn Worlding
