Celebrating plural identities and their creative expressions: Platforming cooperation and empathy, blurring boundaries between language and culture

Translocal Cooperation is an exhibition of work born of cooperation and knowledge exchange between Turkish, Greek, Serbian and British artists seeking Translocal solidarity in a connected world.

The exhibition and works within consider how we might organise for care across distances and differences, with and for our translocal communities. It features a selection of artworks from those created by Turkish, Greek, Serbian and British artists during art and technology residencies at the creative hubs ATÖLYE in Turkey, Bios in Greece, and Nova Iskra in Serbia. The artworks, exhibition and visual identity ask how we might celebrate plural identities and their creative expressions while opening up and sharing these new connections for greater cooperation and empathy.

We worked closely with the curators, artists’ and partners to produce a multifaceted visual identity, website and spatial design for the TransLocal Cooperation exhibition held in Furtherfield Gallery, Finsbury Park. Due to the sudden impact of Covid-19, we had to rethink the “space” exhibitions occupy, moving to a more unorthodox online showcase. We worked with Furtherfield Gallery, The British Council in Turkey and other partners involved to reimagine the way we exhibit in a time of lockdown and limited movement.

The image shows two parts of the website, the first is the menu overlay which shows the pages and access features on the website. The second shows the specially built carousal used on the website, to create a sense of being inside the Gallery space.
The project pages themselves have a dedicated space on the website, utilising the colours and typography chosen as part of the visual identity.
