The Studio: ‘Travel Deep’ Launch
“Travel Deep is a way of thinking. It is looking beyond what you see and hear first to find something deeper, more meaningful, more truthful” – Ibrahim Ahmadzai
It invites you to “see with your heart, change your mind, take action” – Mata Argaw
“The birds flying, nesting… travelling – depending on the angle at which you see them!
They are bringing landscape with them, telling their own story about their travels” – Grmalem Gonetse Kasa
“This work is a response to my collaborators feelings and experiences that are happening in real-time, it sits in the present but travels backwards and forwards through time.” – Catherine Chinatree.
The Studio is led by producers with lived experience of navigating the UK’s asylum system. They work together to commission and co-create public artworks. It explores how public art is made, installed, and received by audiences, as well as its role in forging connections across difference in our borderland communities on the East Kent coast.
