Broken/Makeshift – exhibition

Broken/Makeshift at Sunny Bank Mills features work by a number of acclaimed and emerging artists, including recent BA Fine Art graduate Megan Preston-Davies.

Broken/Makeshift is an exhibition that celebrates contemporary craft by finding the beauty in everyday objects. It explores how our emotional attachment to them can survive a break, fracture or tear. The show and surrounding programme highlight modern and historic methods of mending, inviting a conversation about how our relationship to things has changed since the popularisation of mass-production and the recent resurgence of upcycling, repurposing and repair.

The exhibition features work by acclaimed and emerging artists including Abdulrazaq Awofeso, Amelia Frances Wood, Bridget Harvey, David Fox & Liz O’Connell, Grace Clifford, Isabel Fletcher, Isobel Jane Kimberley, Jo Pond, Megan Preston-Davies, Molly Rooke, Polite Rebellion, Rachel Anzalone, Rosie Vohra, Zoë Hillyard and Zoe Phillips along with a further 18 artists represented in the exhibition’s accompanying Zine Library.
