Within the gallery, a dark forest grows, and imagined artefacts made by the young people sit within the walls of an infinity-symbol-shaped structure. On one side, a digital and tabletop game can be played, and on the other, a campfire creates space to reflect and imagine how different futures might be made. The space serves as both a gathering area and a fantasy film set for Sahjan and the young people to make a new film, on display from Friday 24 July.
Join us for the launch of the new fantasy film on Thursday 23 July from 18:00-20:00. Book here.
As their world expands, the exhibition unfolds, reflecting their ongoing collaboration in which myths can be uncovered, stories shared, and different futures collectively imagined.
→ Play The Zone of Ghosts digital game here.
