SUMMARY:Physarum Polycephalum\, net_work reconfigurations
DESCRIPTION:Physarum Polycephalum\, neT_work reconfigurations\nGoldsmiths BSc Digital Arts Computing \nThis 2025 exhibition by the Digital Art’s computing cohort explores the extraordinary ability of physarum polycephalum a single-cell slime mould and its ability to adapt to it’s environment no matter how intricate or complex for the sake of efficiency. \nOur work through this lens serves to be viewed as challenging the centrality of humans and how perspectives may shift when coming to different understandings of life\, intelligence and connectivity. \nThrough the fusion of art\, science\, and technology\, Net_work Reconfiguration encourages the viewer to ponder the current boundaries between biological and digital networks. By highlighting an organism which is capable of reconfiguring itself in reach of adaptation for efficiency\, we can learn from this work. \nJoin us in reimagining the world through the metaphorical lens of physarum polycephalum where the “blob” becomes a guide to reconfigure our understanding of networks\, intelligence and the posthuman condition. \n22nd May 6 pm – 10:00 pm \n23rd – 25th May from 11 am \nMore info

SUMMARY:Gaza Biennale
DESCRIPTION:Gaza Biennale – Jinnaah UK \nعلىأنقاضهذاالعالم| Upon the Ruins of the World
 \n28th May to 1st June
 \nWe invite you to join us across this 5-day journey. Whether you come for a moment or stay for the entire arc\, your presence matters deeply. \nThis is more than an exhibition and program — it is a call to gather\, witness\, and support. \nمنذأبريل٢٠٢٤،يتحدىفنانوغزةالفناءمنخلالالإبداع،كاسرينكلالقواعدوالتوقعات. وسطالأنقاضوالحزن،نُصرّعلىالجمالوالذاكرةوالخيالوالإنسانية. أُعلنعنبيناليغزةفينوفمبر٢٠٢٤،فهلكانذلكحقيقيًا؟كلقطعةفنيةمنحوتةمنالحزنتُعلنأنالثقافةباقيةحتىمعتحولالعالمإلىرماد. هذاليسمجردمعرض،بلهوذكرىوبعث. يقفأكثرمن٥٠فنانًامعًا،أصواتهمترتفعوسطالحصاروالصمت،ليصنعوافعلًاجماعيًاللبقاءالثقافي. \nSince April 2024\, artists in Gaza have defied annihilation through creation\, breaking all rules and expectations. Amid ruins and mourning\, we insist on beauty\, memory\, imagination and humanity. The Gaza Biennale was announced in November 2024\, was it real? \nEach piece carved from grief is a declaration that culture survives even as the world turns to ash. This is not just an exhibition — it is remembrance and rebirth. Over 50 artists now stand together\, voices rising through siege and silence\, forging a collective act of cultural survival. \nعلى أنقاض هذا العالم | Upon the Ruins of the World is the first official exhibition of the Gaza Biennale\, presented and co-lead in London by Jinnaah UK\, a grassroots collective of artists\, activists\, and cultural workers in solidarity with the Palestinian people\, answering the call of the Gaza Biennale\, organising in the UK in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Over 50 Gazan artists—whose work was born in siege\, in mourning\, in survival—will be exhibited together for the first time anywhere in the world. It is remembrance. It is rebellion. It is rebirth. \nSince Gaza Biennale’s announcement and Jinnaah UK’s partnership in November 2024\, the Gaza Biennale – Jinnaah UK has unfolded across public space—in projections and bilingual interventions on the walls of major institutions\, transforming the city into a living archive of cultural resistance. \nNow\, for the first time\, this work enters a dedicated exhibition space. Through installations\, live-streamed conversations\, talks\, workshops\, participatory works\, and multilingual programming in both Arabic and English\, this landmark event invites audiences into the heart of the Gaza Biennale. \nIn a time of increasing hostility toward Arab\, Muslim and Palestinian identities\, the exhibition’s bilingual nature is deliberate: to resist invisibility\, assert presence\, and honour linguistic and cultural integrity. \nHighlights of the public program include live discussions and workshops with artists in Gaza\, topics include art\, race\, fragmented Palestinian identity and disability\, and conversations on cultural labour under siege. Guest speakers include Yara Eid and others to be announced\, including artists from inside Gaza. \nA full schedule including ticket booking can be found[here]. \nIn the absence of institutional courage\, this exhibition affirms what communities already know: that people rise\, and art builds worlds. It is a call to the UK cultural sector—to uplift Palestinian artists\, sever ties with complicit institutions\, and speak out against genocide. \n“There is no other project like this in the world. The time is now to highlight and make room for the most critical artists of our time.” \nSpokesperson – Gaza Biennale – Jinnaah UK \nWe are raising vital funds for our work and for the artists of the Gaza Biennale. Donations — offered with generosity and love — will help us continue holding space for voices\, visions\, and stories that must not be lost. \nWhen lands are silenced and lives made invisible in the main stream\, what often remains are the stories — the culture\, the language\, the art. This is also what we are protecting. This too is what we are building. And we need you with us. \nThe exhibition is supported by:\n‘heart’ Al Risan Art Museum (‘h’ARAM) aka Forbidden Museum\, Agent.C\, Palestinian Youth Movement\, RESOLVE Collective\, Street Sound System\, Black Obsidian Sound System (B.O.S.S)\, TEAM\, White Kite Collective\, multitudes.coop\, Art 4 a Free Palestine\, Shams and Rise\, XR Art Blockers\, MAKAN\, BOLD MELON COLLECTIVE\, Yards Theatre\, Kunstraum\, UGLY DUCK\, and Fatema Zeinab (one of the Filton 18). \n
