A COMMUNITY OF OBJECTS

Exhibition

8 October - 24 November, 2022

Shieldfield Art Works

A COMMUNITY OF OBJECTS brought together many personal items to create an incomplete portrait that would represent the diversity of people who live, work, or play in the residential neighbourhood of Shieldfield.

The portrait grew throughout the exhibition period, with objects arriving each week, and only becoming complete in it’s final week.

In addition to the amassed collection of objects the exhibition also included a selection of video clips from the North East Film Archive on themes of work, social life, family life, politics, and architecture, as well as a teaser trailer for the forthcoming film 100 People: A Portrait of Co-Existence.
