ABOUT
The OXYGEN series by urbanflo opens up a powerful new lens to creatively explore the human condition and different narratives from the perspective of communities still impacted by the legacies of colonialism.
The breathTAKING exhibition is part of the Brighton Fringe edition of OXYGEN and offers a rare mainstream platform for local artists to present bold new multi-disciplinary interpretations, through illustration, digital art, spoken word and video, plus leading edge works using virtual reality, augmented reality and facial detection.
breathTAKING is curated by urbanflo founder/Director, Jenni Lewin-Turner and guest creatives include Judith Ricketts, Josef Cabey, River Sweeney and AFLO. the Poet. The project is funded in part by Phoenix Art Space, Centre for Arts and Wellbeing at the University of Brighton and Arts Council England.
From 16 June – 25 July, the galleries at Phoenix Art Space will be open Wednesday – Sunday, 11.00 – 17.00.
