Complex States: Art in the Years of Brexit
Crawford Art Gallery is a project partner of ARTinTRA’s Complex States: Art in the Years of Brexit with the artwork Advent of the Inevitable (2019) by Rita Duffy.
On 31 December 2020, the process of Brexit will be concluded. This ends four years across which Brexit has continued to raise urgent questions concerning nationality, identity, fake news, social media and globalisation. Complex States is a visual arts project that platforms artists’ critical engagement with the events of Brexit. Curated by Vassiliki Tzanakou and Catherine Harrington, it features more than 35 emerging and established contemporary artists. Complex States aims to confront the urgent topics of Brexit in a more diverse way in order to heal divides, and build new bridges across the UK, Europe and the rest of the world while retaining existing cross-national bonds.
In the project’s journey physically and virtually across the UK and the EU post-Brexit and in the midst of COVID-19, Complex States also hopes to help deepen existing UK-European connections and create solidarity in a time of division, isolation and alienation.
