Fictional Archiving Workshop with Theo Dunne | From The Ground Up

Join artist Theo Dunne for a fictional archiving workshop and guided tour of the segment of the cemetery where our story takes place. Archiving tools provided. Please wear comfortable shoes and remember to carry water with you. This workshop will involve approximately 45 minutes of walking on uneven surfaces, followed by our session in the chapel which is uncovered and open to the elements.

Booking is not essential but spaces are limited so if you're interested do head along early!

This event is part of Theo's solo exhibition within the Summer series from the FLP x Friends of Nunhead Cemetery Curatorial Program.

Ancient texts found on immaculately preserved cassette tapes. A tree root unearths the entrance/exit to an underground dwelling, complete with rusting chandelier and a waterlogged Lost Boys DVD. Impossible notes tacked to the remnants of a headstone sealed in a plastic sandwich bag.

An uncertain amount of time ago, an unknown human became enamoured with a cracked open grave. What will happen next changes the fragile order of things for good.

Step through the chapel gates at Nunhead Cemetery and enter From The Ground Up, a new solo show by Theo Dunne presented by Feminist Lecture Program and Friends of Nunhead Cemetery. Playing with themes of fluidity in gender and time, visitors are encouraged to abandon ideas of what is True and embrace the chimera of materials, text, and happenings that surround you.
