    NOTTINGHAM Refugee Week Nottingham 2015 Different Pasts, Shared Futures th Launching on 13 June 2015 Designed by Mojatu Foundation 167 Afreton Road, NG7 3JR | 0115 845 7009 www. mojatu. com | info@mojatu. comw NOTTINGHAM 13 to 20 June 2015 Refugee Week in Nottingham is an act of welcome, a gesture of solidarity, and a shared celebration. It exists both to raise awareness of the reasons why people are forced to seek refuge – persecution, war, famine, abuse, poverty and civil conflict - and also to celebrate th rough exhibitions, library and community workshops, family and children’s projects, music events, public meetings and a film festival, the contributions made by refugees and asylum seekers to the economic, cultural and social life of the city. This country has a long tradition of hosting and offering sanctuary to people displaced from their homes and forced to take flight, and Nottingham, with its diverse and dynamic population, is proud to be associated with this tradition. The Week is designed as an act of solidarity that cuts across the boundaries of place, culture and language by challenging the myths and stereotypes that misrepresent refugees and asylum seekers. The number of refugees and displaced people in the world is increasing again, and the tragic nature of this displacement was brought home by the recent drownings in the Mediterranean. NOTTINGHAM BEYOND BORDERS presents Refugee Week 2015, Nottingham, 13-20 June Saturday, 13 June: Launch event from 1-4pm drop in. The Space, Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham NG1 2GB. Live music, stalls, food, children’s play area. Join us in celebrating the launch of Refugee Week 2015.

  • Blast Theory Biography Our History
    Blast Theory biography Blast Theory is renowned internationally as one of the most adventurous artists’ groups using interactive media, creating groundbreaking new forms of performance and interactive art that mixes audiences across the internet, live performance and digital broadcasting. Led by Matt Adams, Ju Row Farr and Nick Tandavanitj, the group’s work explores the social and political aspects of technology. Drawing on popular culture and games, the work often blurs the boundaries between the real and the fictional. Blast Theory is based in Brighton, UK. Our history Early works such as Gunmen Kill Three (1991), Chemical Wedding (1994) and Stampede (1994) drew on club culture to create multimedia performances – often in unusual spaces such as film studios and accompanied by bands and DJs – that invited participation. The crime reconstruction installation Invisible Bullets (1994) was first shown at the Fete Worse Than Death in Hoxton. Something American (1996) treated the USA as the Wild West, quoting freely from Hollywood films on a billboard sized projection screen. 1997 was a major step forward: a nine month residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin coincided with a proposed performance called Succumbing suddenly shifting to become Kidnap (1998), in which two members of the public were kidnapped as part of a lottery and the resulting event was streamed online. Desert Rain (1999), a large scale installation, performance and game using virtual reality marks the first output of our collaboration with the Mixed Reality Lab at the University of Nottingham. An Explicit Volume (2001) is an interactive installation using page-turners to control nine pornographic books and is part of a sequence of works that use found imagery and/or sexual material such as Choreographic Cops In A Complicated World (2000) and Viewfinder (2001).
