How do we carry the weight of pasts?
Always imperfectly, limping by the end.
This exhibition is a pilgrimage, an absurdist performance, a climate protest, and a church and colonial reckoning.
It’s an evolving exhibition with slowly accumulating sculptures marking a walk of 1000km.
The artist will work in situ in the gallery recording in thread what happened when they tried to carry too many heavy bricks up a hill.
