Reflection and Rebellion A Loudspeaker project Autumn 2021

Place of Reflection
We started by sitting together in Grace
Ndiritu’s Temple in the gallery, part of the
exhibition Our Silver City, 2094, doing
some tapestry stitching. The Temple’s
concepts were relaxation, meditation and
expression for groups and individuals.
We built our own interpretation of a
temple, a place of relaxation, reflection
and calm. We expressed ourselves in how
we used the materials; canes, reusable
cable ties, fabrics, wool, lace.
Afterwards we sat together and reflected
and appreciated the feeling of safety and
sharing, where no ideas were wrong.
“Working in union; working as a team,
no judgement, having fun”.
“I feel more ready to be creative again
in a playful capacity. It has brought my
creative freedom back after it being
lost for so long since my breakdown”.
