GardenShip and State
August 23 – October 20, 2024
This exhibition brings together 21 artists and writers who engage in decolonial critique,
environmental activism, and twenty-first century artistic practices to address what is arguably the problem of our times: environmental catastrophe. It asks how we can work together and create together as a global community to restore the planet – while respecting differences and seeking to repair divisions and address injustices brought about by colonialism. Co-curated by Jeff Thomas and Patrick Mahon, the exhibition features a vast array of works, many produced over a two-year period and originally shown at Museum London in 2021-22. The results of conversations between the artists and writers, as well as oftentimes with members of local communities, those exciting artworks are being presented at the Thames Art Gallery alongside new and updated projects. For this version of GardenShip and State, important environmental projects by artists and activists from the Chatham region are being highlighted on the mezzanine, as well.
