James Harding & Gordon Douglas Nib : Complete Sea

 how are you? Did you watch hann i bal Last night . An an th ology event 

Where once the Bible provided a set of shared myths and characters that everyone could draw upon, now we have pop culture. Figures like Harry Potter, Christian Grey, and the Avengers are the narratives we reference in order to be understood.

nib: Complete Sea, is a live art event exploring ways in which people can redact these new canons as commons and shape them into their own image. The event will feature a number of fans, artists and writers who have drawn from the mythology of Dr Hannibal Lecter for their own ends.

Work by:

Gavia Baker-Whitelaw (fandom journalist and film costume specialist)
Andrew Black (artist and playwright)
Gordon Douglas (artist and producer)
James T Harding (content creator and publisher)
Bryony Robinson (screenwriter and historic restoration expert)

And a host of fanfiction read by Heather Hardcastle.

Please arrive 7pm for 7.30pm start.

The Garden is Our Wall is a series of four events inviting collaboration from creative practitioners: Stefanie Cheong, James Harding, Tess Vaughan, and Jake Watts. The conversations each originated from a discussion about the history of ‘Planty Park’, a 4km circular band of greenery which replaced Krakow’s historic city wall in the early 19th Century. The change is a very early example of the ‘garden city’ phenomenon, and can be seen as a shift towards the image-as-defence - one which acts as protection from cultural and international criticism. As well as interrogating the ideas of urban design, authority and civic duty, the conversations have also questioned what it means to use collective image as ‘defence’, and where responsibility might lie in curatorial and collaborative practices.
