"It Feels Like The First Time represents a boundless environment of mixed media conversations presented through archival images, video recordings, sculptures, drawings, automated and audible works, and so much more. This exhibition tastefully creates a sensorial tension, a push and pull, between material memory, existing power struggles, belief systems and the contradictory, uncanny moments of modern life."
“We currently live in a world that is slowly, but surely, changing and becoming more aware of the fact that every single action of ours has a direct consequence on the environment. Although this is definitely a great step towards somehow ‘alleviating’ some of climate change's effects, we can't pretend to be ‘eco-friendly’ every step of the way – not because it is draining but it is almost impossible to do so. We talk to co-founder Saeed Al-Rubeyi (who works alongside his partner Katy) about slow clothing and how the British nature-led fashion brand Story Mfg is authentically and unpretentiously carrying this way of living out, with real and achievable goals through collaborating with craftspeople.”
