Knowledge in a Fractured World

Marking twenty?five years of interdisciplinary research and public engagement at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH), this special anniversary exhibition looks at knowledge?making across and beyond the academic and artistic community. Under the anniversary theme 'Knowledge in a Fractured World', the exhibition forms part of a wider programme exploring how knowledge is produced, contested, and translated into action amid political polarisation, technological disruption, environmental crisis, and shifting global power relations. We ask what happens to knowledge in such conditions, and how it may serve either to entrench divisions or to imagine more just futures and enable new forms of solidarity and action. The exhibition showcases examples of interdisciplinary research within CRASSH, alongside a surprising and eclectic collection of works by international artists who responded to a call on the theme. Contributions range from global challenges to intimate personal narratives, across a wide variety of media. Join us for an exhibition reception on 19 October from 17:30- 19:30, all welcome! CRASSH’s Director will give a brief introduction to the exhibition and anniversary at 18:00. Look out for the performance of ‘Queer Touch’, a wearable installation by artist.
