Unfolding Traces at The Hangar Gallery, London, United Kingdom, 2023

Curated by Pigeon Park Collective

28 March – 1 April 2023

Unfolding Traces is a student-led initiative between students of the Royal College of Arts in Battersea, London, UK. Unfolding Traces explores questions surrounding hybrid identities and future world making, manifested through the magic of collective thinking. As we emerge from the post- pandemic vacuum that saw human experience morph in new metaphysical and unphysical ways, we begin to reimagine our utopias. Can we still be whole when we are fluid and unfixed? By working collaboratively  and  through  improvisation,  Unfolding  Traces  transforms  The Hangar into an immersive space that has the marks and aesthetic values of individual ecosystems yet presents a new being,  frozen  mid-flux.  This  complex  entity  tells  stories  of  infinite transformation, inviting the audience to explore what our cyborg and hybrid identities mean to our sense of community, place, and future worlding. The exhibition weaves together divergent perspectives across the Painting, Sculpture, CAP, Photography and Print departments bound by themes of displacement, cultural bodies and transient identity. Multifaceted approaches suggest fragmental thinking, fluid borders and the blurring of spatial boundaries. Theme and method become one as we work to expand notions of distinct disciplines by rejecting the boundaries and definitions implied by tradition, and forge new ways of being and creating through interpersonal and interdisciplinary play.
