Immersive art

As part of our Home theme, we’re excited to share that Undershed – Watershed’s gallery for showcasing interactive and immersive work from around the world – will host a new exhibition this autumn/winter.

The exhibition will explore the question: What does home mean to you?

The Everyworld is an installation, exhibition and celebration of collaboration between a father, a daughter — Andrew and Eden Kötting — and an ever-expanding family of cooperation. 

Stay tuned for more details coming soon.

Cinema

What does home look like through the lens of a smartphone? Arriving Fri 22 Aug, Motherboard is a deeply personal documentary from BAFTA-winning director Victoria Mapplebeck, filmed over 20 years on five generations of phones. It charts her journey raising her son Jim solo – from pregnancy scans to college drop-offs – alongside her own battles with illness, work, and identity. Funny, raw, and intimate, it’s a remarkable portrait of family life in motion.

Pervasive Media Studio

Over In the Studio on Fri 5 Dec Knowle West Media Centre invites you to an immersive sound installation of voices and perspectives co-curated and produced with sound artist Nik Rawlings in Bristol's first Civic Observatory—a space in which people can come together and learn about AI.

Alongside an exhibition of their prototyping process, they’ll invite you to join a listening circle, and contribute your voice to their research and public engagement for a just transition towards Liveable Neighbourhoods.
