Slow Time: a research presentation with Hollie Douglas

BOOK HERE

Join Future Collect curatorial trainee Hollie Douglas as she presents on research developed over her traineeship with iniva and Towner Eastbourne.

Slow Time (working title) is a research project inspired by initial investigations into memory, nostalgia and the archive. It has developed through conversations with artists to look at imagination and dreaming as an embodiment and expression of resistance and freedom. Slow time proposes an inconsistent way of looking at time, which permits a way of thinking about time that allows for dreams, radical imagination and memory to be nurtured.

Hollie’s research talk will include a presentation of her ideas and then an opportunity to explore these themes further in open discussion with attendees. The research looks at weaving together artistic practices that she has encountered and drawing from theories such as ‘Black radical imagination’ and ‘Black utopia’.
