Event overview
An exhibition and series of events responding to 'A Seventh Man' by John Berger and Jean Mohr.
The Department of Sociology's Methods Lab have collaborated with artists to curate an exhibition and series of events responding to 'A Seventh Man' by John Berger and Jean Mohr as well as the theme Migrating Dreams + Nightmares: movement + materials.
Words and images from A Seventh Man, which was translated into different languages, have been re-enacted in the Kingsway Corridor by artist Antoinette Brown in collaboration with Nirmal Puwar. Chalk, blackboards and wire jolt the words out of the book and onto the walls of the academy. Contemporary graffiti from Larache’s harbour sits among selections from the book. In addition, Sadek Rahim’s sponge boats from his project No Crash! Boom! Bang!, originally installed in the Bibliothèque Nationale d'Alger, hang in the arches of the passageway.
In a linked-in off-site exhibition in the Stuart Hall Library Alia Syed and Nadia Perrotta have responded to Berger and Mohr’s book and Syed’s longstanding interest in tunnels to examine the hopes and fears driving the movements of current migrants and refugees.
