Beacons, a programme of three exhibitions, talks and workshops at Manchester’s Caustic Coastal began December 14, 2017 and continued until April 21, 2018.
Curated by Rebecca Halliwell-Sutton, the exhibitions included Pharos (running December 14, 2017 to January 13, 2018) with work by Maria Gondek, Rebecca Ackroyd, Jesse Darling and Mary Hurrell, Flare (running December 14, 2017 to January 13, 2018) with work by Tai Shani, Jenkin Van Zyl, Liv Fontaine and Amshu Chukki, and Signs (running March 29 to April 21, 2018) with work by Verity Birt, Anna Hughes, Nicola Singh, Dominique White and Ayesha Tan Jones.
All three exhibitions and their accompanying talks, workshops and publication seek to “communicate our experiences of time, existence and our bodies through empathetic exchanges with objects, emotional archives, traces left in artefacts; imagining futures and resurfacing histories.”**
