Fusion Arts is working in partnership with Museum of Colour (MoC) and the Bodleian Libraries to build a small exhibition entitled 'These Things Matter' through a collaborative process featuring six objects and six contemporary responses created by artists. We want to investigate the ideas and relationships that maintained systems of empire and slavery.

We are looking to commission artists to interpret and respond to artefacts selected from the Bodleian Libraries collections through participatory community workshops (held October- December 2021). The six objects that will form part of These Things Matter were chosen due to their relationship to emotional control. We are looking for six artists/commissions to form the exhibition alongside the six artefacts. Please note that the items we are asking you to respond to may bring up difficult emotions.

For a full brief of the commission, please visit http://admin.museumofcolour.org.uk/wp-co...

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
