SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Creative Social: In the Absence of Formal Ground
DESCRIPTION:CREATIVE SOCIAL: IN THE ABSENCE OF FORMAL GROUND\n\n\n\n\nSATUR
 DAY 2 MARCH / 6–8PM / OPEN EYE GALLERY / FREE\, DROP IN\n\nJoin us for a
  relaxed creative social to celebrate connection and collaboration. As par
 t of the current Digital Window Gallery show ‘In The Absence of Formal G
 round’\, this event will feature work from the project alongside a short
  film screening.\n\nAll are welcome to attend\, chat and connect with othe
 rs in the space. Feel free to bring family and friends.\n\nLimited copies 
 of the newspaper zine and audio cards will be available on the night. The
 se cards can be taken home and planted\, where the embedded seeds will gro
 w into wildflowers – an invitational practice to all who engage with the
  stories.\nAbout the project:\n\n\nIn the absence of formal ground\, what 
 do we build instead?\n\nThis project is a love letter to all the ways in w
 hich we keep moving\, building and making space for each other.\n\nFormed 
 through a series of connections made through the East and South East Asian
  Network in Liverpool\, the work spotlights three performance artists (Nad
 ia Anim\, Vera Chok and Pei Tong) exploring how we define our own ways of 
 moving and the importance of building from the ground up.\n\nUsing the str
 eets of Liverpool as a platform for each individual\, the photographs are 
 a demonstration of taking up space – a presentation of continued movemen
 t in a city with a history of migration and community led action. It’s e
 asy to feel isolated in the spaces around us. While we live in a landscape
  structured to favour individualism over collective care\, solidarity and 
 community are needed more than ever.\n\nPerformance in itself is a conscio
 us movement\, a galvanised action calling for a witness.\n\nWhile these co
 nversations are presented through a lens of performance\, ultimately this 
 work is about making space for each other\, carving new ways of moving and
  co-existence.\n\nIt’s an invitation to take up space and share it.\n\nA
  declaration to all the ways in which we still show up.\n\nImage: Saffron
