Rocky Futures
An exhibition at the T2M conference at Konkuk Academy of Mobility Humanities, Seoul, 25th-28th October 2023, in collaboration with FutureEverything.
Rocky Futures is a series of 9 live video events for the 20th Anniversary of the Centre for Mobilities Research (Cemore). Artists introduced their local and mobile rocky environments to a worldwide audience through live Zoom ‘conversations with rocks’ hosted from the field. Each artist devised methods to explore environmental, social, cultural, historical, political and lively mobilities, and used deep knowledge of materiality drawn from their art practice to devise ways to make of rocks more present from a distance.

- Rocky Futures: An introduction by co-curators Rebecca Birch, Sarah Casey and Jen Southern
- Rocky Mobilities: A Forward by Professor Lynne Pearce, co-Director of the Centre for Mobilities Research
