About Love: Artists Meet & Greet

This is an informal drop-in session between 2–4pm, giving you the opportunity to meet several of the artists in the gallery, hear directly about their work, and have one-to-one conversations in a welcoming and open setting.

There’s no formal panel and no structured talk — just space to connect, ask questions, and gain deeper insight into the ideas behind the exhibition and the artists’work.

Whether you stay for the full two hours or pop in briefly, this is your chance to engage with the artists and explore how themes of love, care, materialism, neglect, trauma, and healing are reflected in their work.

TUESDAY, 24TH FEBRUARY

GROUNDINGS: LOVE AS A RADICAL FORCE A Circle Conversation

Join us for an intimate evening of art and open conversation as the artists participating in About Love gather for a relaxed, circle discussion with curator Sukai Eccleston.

This is not a top-down, expert-led panel.

It’s a shared space. A collective exchange.

A conversation you are invited into.

Together, we’ll explore how love — and the absence of it — shapes our lives, our communities, and our creative practices. The artists will reflect on themes of “lovelessness” that stem from materialism, neglect, and trauma, and how art can respond to, challenge, or transform these realities.
