Flamm

Counterpoints partnered with Creative Kernow to present commissions by artists Abigail Reynolds and Sovay Berriman as part of a new pilot initiative Flamm in Redruth, Cornwall

Both projects address issues of heritage, language and migration in ways that add new dimensions to our Platforma 2023 programme.

Abigail Reynolds presents CORE, a collaborative sound installation rooted in place, from the quarry on Carn Marth to explore socio-economic change caused by mine closures and ideological hydro feminist change in our extractive relationship with the environment. More information on this event

Gwyrdh Glas (tr. Green Green) by Sovay Berriman uses sculpture and conversation to explore contemporary Kernewek (Cornish) identity in relation to themes of heritage, land and extraction industries. Sovay will deliver a public workshop series and an audiovisual film and a rock sculpture on the themes of Kernewek (Cornish) identity, land and language. More information

The artworks were presented at Flamm in Redruth, Cornwall on 21-22 October as part of a multi-layered programme of exhibitions and events. This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund; European Structural and Investment, Cornwall Council and Arts Council England.
