In a world increasingly defined by displacement, division, and disconnection, the question of belonging has never been more urgent. Gathering Ground wants to explore the profound human need for home, belonging, and connection in the face of collapsing systems and fractured communities. It seeks to bring together artists to interrogate what it means to create a safe, welcoming place. The exhibition will explore the dilemmas of belonging – the tension between inclusion and exclusion, between being welcomed and being othered. The act of being welcomed into a space can highlight differences, underscoring the fact that belonging is not a straightforward or stable and unchanging condition, but can be a complex, often contradictory experience shaped by identity, history and power. Gathering Ground grapples with these complexities, asking how to create spaces that truly welcome 'the other' without imposing conditions or erasing their identity.
