Known Terrain explores how places, systems and relationships become familiar over time. Rather than a fixed condition, familiarity is understood as something continually shaped through movement, repetition and exchange. Works examine shifting perspectives, everyday encounters and the landscapes around us.

Curated by: Elephant Vision Lab Alexander Collinson and XinYue Ma Show 1:  Structures of Place, Memory and Transformation PV: 6-8pm 12th Sep Date: 12th -15th Sep The first show explores how architecture, infrastructure and landscapes become familiar through movement, repetition, reuse and exchange. Bringing together works that engage with place as an evolving condition, the exhibition considers how memory, material traces and everyday encounters shape our understanding of the environments we inhabit, and how these places transform over time.

The exhibition considers the self as fluid and continually constructed, examining how new technologies, inherited rituals and shifting cultural frameworks transform how we understand ourselves, one another and the worlds we inhabit.
