We The People Are The Work
We The People Are The Work is a city-wide exhibition that will build connections and collaborations between the people of Plymouth and internationally renowned artists.
The city will be activated by a series of newly commissioned artworks that question our engagement with politics and identity. In the wake of recent global events, it asks what are the differences and shared experiences that shape society?
Ciara Phillips’ work will be shown at Plymouth Arts Centre. Phillips works mainly in printmaking and her approach is expansive and experimental. Her interest lies in both the physical processes involved in printing and the capacity to explore, test and develop ideas through it. Printing has also been linked with political and social activism – a tool to call for action.
We The People Are The Work is curated by Simon Morrissey, Director of Foreground, and presented by PVAPG (Plymouth Visual Art Programming Group), a partnership between The Gallery at Plymouth College of Art, KARST, Peninsula Arts at Plymouth University, Plymouth Arts Centre and The Box, Plymouth. It is part of Horizon, a two-year visual arts programme in Plymouth supported by Arts Council England’s ‘Ambition for Excellence’ programme and Plymouth Culture.
