Transnational Encounters

Overview

This summer, CASA brings Lines of Flight back to Brixton House with a new season of exhibitions, residencies, performances and public events exploring transnational experience, collective artistic process, and the social and political systems that shape contemporary life.

Through may the programme moves through s distinct chapter of Transnational Encounters brings together an exhibition, live encounters and the presence of Diasporas Now as collective-in-residence across Brixton House.

Moving across visual art, collective process and public programming, the chapter explores how movement across borders, at once a human right and a site of tension, shapes contemporary life and artistic practice. Rather than approaching transnationality as a fixed subject, it considers it as a condition of practice: one that produces friction, negotiation and reimagining, and that takes form through materials, methods and collaboration.

Across May, Diasporas Now develop Formula, an evolving process that explores what it means to create together across borders, cultures and lived experiences, without flattening difference. Their work unfolds through research, exchange and public moments, culminating in a live presentation on 30 May.
