Award-winning and internationally renowned Greek/British artist Mikhail Karikis addresses the urgency of climate change in HOME’s latest solo exhibition.
An immersive sound and multi-screen installation, Songs for the Storm to Come embraces science and personal perspectives, using listening and sound-making as a means to cultivate climate care.
Participants observe maps showing Britain’s transformed geography for 2050 due to rising seawater, and reflect on the social and political changes needed to bring communities together.
While assessing worldwide issues, this thought-provoking exhibition puts Manchester at its heart. Continuing his practice of collaborating with local communities, Mikhail Karikis has worked with Manchester-based SHE cooperative choir for women and non-binary people, as well as sound researchers from the School of Digital Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Together they look at the way humans relate to the environment, and the role communal sound-making can play.
A bookable preview of Songs for the Storm to Come will also take place on Fri 11 Oct, 6pm – 9pm.
