PRIVATE VIEW Nov 26th, 6pm-9pm Valerie Asiimwe Amani will be performing 'Meremeta' at 7:30pm. Refreshments available, stop by! REGULAR HOURS Nov 27th - Nov 30th, 10am-6pm Dec 1st, 10am-2pm
EXHIBITION SUMMARY Unfixed Coordinates considers how we orient ourselves when inherited systems of knowledge feel insufficient. The exhibition approaches identity as something negotiated through acts of 'mapping,' personal experience, and cultural memory. Moving beyond traditional cartography, the exhibition approaches mapping as a means of navigating cultural, ancestral, material, spiritual, and linguistic systems. Identity becomes something continuously negotiated through acts of mapping. The exhibition brings together painting, sculpture, textiles, installation and performance.
Selected through CasildArt Contemporary's inaugural Curatorial Open Call, Unfixed Coordinates is an independently curated group exhibition led by curator Annabell Pu, in collaboration with assistant curator Rhea Mehta. The selected proposal has been awarded a seven-day gallery takeover.
EVENTS PROGRAMMING Nov 28th, 2-4pm; Collective Counter Mapping Led by curatorial duo brittle, the participatory workshop responds to Unfixed Coordinates and the practice of exhibiting artists Jack Woolley, who joins the session to introduce his work with mapping and archival material.

Counter Archives presents a collective zine-making workshop exploring the zine as bridge between fact and fiction, past and future. With Saidiya Hartman's concept of critical fabulation as their starting point, audiences are invited to rethink how space and territory is observed, mapped, and controlled.
