Event: Still/Moving in conversation

Speedwell, site specific installation by Still/Moving, Plymouth, 2020.

“On Friday 23rd of October at 11.00, Emma Cocker will be joining Still/Moving in conversation around her text “The Yes of the No”. Emma’s text was a crucial influence to Still/Moving during the depths of the first lockdown when they worried about potentially negative readings of their sculpture, particularly it's firm stance on 'No'. This text gave them the courage to stand by their instinct, to draw a line in the sand, to say "NO", to affirm their position. They will be discussing this among other themes covered in her work”. 

Speedwell is a site-specific 67 m long illuminated text work by the artistic collective Still/Moving, on Plymouth’s Mount Batten Breakwater designed to provoke reflection about the human impulse to explore new worlds and the repercussions of this behaviour. It urgently asks us to imagine new ways of living, caring and dying well on this damaged planet.  Throughout the duration of Speedwell's installation on Mount Batten Breakwater, a series of 'in conversations' will be held between Still/Moving and invited speakers to discuss some of the themes raised by the project.
