I will be participating in the 'Sun and Moon' Exhibition which will be held at The Hide, Sheffield, UK from 23rd November - 2nd December 2016.
The exhibition is looking to assess Pokémon from a contemporary art platform and will examine how the experiences within it can be pulled from their original context for further contemplation. In celebration of Pokémon’s 20th anniversary, the exhibition will be held in line with Pokémon Sun and Moon’s release in the UK on 23rd November. Pokémon has been captivating and delighting audiences for many years, but beyond its cute façade lies a myriad of complexities: From themes of identity, travel, nature and relationships, to the implications of collecting, exploring and reaching a common goal, the narratives that exist within Pokémon can be applied to any art form. The exhibition will examine how the themes within the franchise are applicable to our own lives and may alter your expectations on what Pokémon can be. The private view will start at 6pm and events will be running alongside the exhibition.
