Uma Breakdown: Earth A.D. Launch Event

Wysing Arts Centre

We are thrilled to invite you to Earth A.D., the first solo exhibition from artist Uma Breakdown.

Join us at Wysing to celebrate the launch of Uma Breakdown&#x27;s new exhibition Earth A.D., a new body of work that draws on the artist’s research into the structures and historical context of Gothic narratives, and their creative relationships to time, space, identity and social relations.The project consists of video games, objects, and an installation. An immersive installation in the gallery made from muslin, concrete rebar, bioresin and lino prints presents coffin-like structures, a hanging coracle alongside a holographic projection and new drawings from the artist. The immersive Earth A.D. game will be playable online on <a href="https://wysingbroadcasts.art/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WysingBroadcasts.Art</a>, while a lo-fi &quot;demake&quot; game is playable in the gallery. <a href="http://www.wysingartscentre.org/whats_on/exhibitions/earth_a.d" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">To find out more about Earth A.D., please visit our website here.</a>Event Timings4pm – Arrivals, launch event begins5.30pm – Video introduction from the artist6pm – Event ends, Cambridge transport departs WysingTicket Options<ul><li>Ticket Without Transport – free</li><li>Ticket With Cambridge Transport – £8 or pay-what-you-can</li><li>Companion Ticket for Cambridge Transport – free</li></ul>Please note: Wysing is a not-for-profit organisation.
