Andy Butler All-in-One Solution for Glowing Fairness

Opening: Wendnesday 2 October, 6-8pm Dates: 2 October - 26 October, 2019

All-in-One Solution for Glowing Fairness is an exhibition that explores the complex and contradictory forces that pull people from the margins into the centre. It unpacks the realities of trying to recuperate a connection to a cultural heritage from a distance at a time where there is a pressure to self-fetishize. When an artistic, cultural and political history that has never quite cared for you wants to give you a platform based on diversity – after a lifetime of insisting on assimilation - what are the limits of the tools you’re given?
