Hide AdThe exhibition is inspired by the daily experiences of Sew N Sew, who uses the objects she collects along the Luton Busway – a primary route of access to the centre on a mobility scooter .
The centrepiece will be an ever-expanding group of soft, doll-like figurines by Sew N Sew (Indenti-kit 4 Collective Action).
On October 14, from 2pm-5pm, curator Caroline Wallace and artist Sew N Sew will also run a pop-up stall at Luton’s bus station where they will gather impressions from passers-by that will inspire new Indenti-kit sculptures.
Launch reception: Saturday, October 5, 6pm - 8pm.
