There’s still time to catch Project13 by artist coco c, an installation inspired by Netflix series Thirteen Reasons Why – coco c asks how can we open a communicative bridge with the younger generation?
On the opening night, swathes of dyed coloured fabric lined The Humble Gallery and coco c invited participants to explore their own personal experience and emotional responses and participate in the project’s documentary.
PROJECT13 is a process based installation that explores the potential of social activism. The project aims to produce a documentary on a series of workshops for teenagers and their carers, beit teachers, tutors, parents or social workers. The primary goal of the project is to ease the dialogue surrounding emotions and feelings, to encourage more openness, awareness, and empathy. This installation helps (re) connect us with the emotions of our younger selves through the colour symbology which uses the polarities of emotion.
The exhibition will be on display in The Humble Gallery until the 28th of February.
