Art: "Distant Fellowship" by Studio Carrom
17 July to 15 August
Fellowship Square
"Distant Fellowship" sees one of Studio Carrom's fabric designs wrapped around the entrance gateposts of Fellowship Square, creating a bright, bold and thought-provoking intervention.
The new pattern, hand printed in India using hand carved wooden blocks, has been developed for their current exhibition at the William Morris Gallery, Distant Fellowship: Morris & South Asia, where they explore Morris’s connections with South Asia and look at how his work and ideas can still be relevant to a contemporary multi-cultural society.
Come and see their beautiful designs around the brand new fountain any day from 17 July. The Fellowship Square installation will be removed 15 August, but visitors can enjoy Distant Fellowship at The William Morris Gallery until 19 September 2021. The Gallery, on Forest Road, is an 8 minute walk from Fellowship Square. Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10am – 5pm, admission free.
