“On the occasion of Olukemi Lijadu’s exhibition at Spike Island, Feedback, Lijadu will perform a newly commissioned live music score to her film 'Feedback'. Unfolding behind a sheer screen, the performance draws on the tradition of expanded cinema to collapse the virtual realm of the film into the physical space of the galleries.”

“This exhibition brings together artists based in Bristol and around the world to reflect on their personal relationships with nature and to open new conversations through their artistic practice. For some artists, nature has long been a central subject and source of inspiration; for others, it represents a new area of exploration. Together, their works invite us to reconsider how we see, understand, and belong within the natural world — and to use this dialogue as a starting point for thinking about broader questions in our lives. Through handmade prints, oil paintings, and mixed-media sculptures, fifteen artists share their conversations with Nature.”
