Parks and Power Residency

LUX is pleased to announce that it has appointed artist Amy Feneck to undertake a 12 month residency to explore the relationships, dynamics and structures of power which surround Waterlow Park in which the organisation is based, working in collaboration with community groups, representatives and local organisations. Looking at histories of public parks, and organising practices in communities such as cooperatives and solidarity networks, the project will also draw upon democratic ways of working in artists’ moving image practices. Through active research, workshops and public events, the project will work with local knowlegdes and experience to create diverse re-presentations, and re-imaginings of the park and power. The title of the project comes from a discussion held with staff and board members of LUX in April 2022
