Homecoming
Presented in partnership with Beaker Street Festival, Soma Lumia in collaboration with Samantha Dennis & Franklin House
Saturday 6 + Sunday 7 | 12pm - 4pm | Various | Franklin House
Homecoming is a hybrid digital/sculptural installation at Franklin House that responds to the concept of acclimatization societies of the mid-1800s. These societies were established to introduce animals and plants which reproduced a sense of home in an otherwise alien landscape. A lack of biological knowledge meant that the consequences of these actions were generally unforeseen. These societies “liberated” the likes of starlings, sparrows, rabbits, gorse, and foxgloves to Australia.
Homecoming by tech/art collective Soma Lumia and award-winning jeweller Samantha Dennis, explores the concept and repercussions of these societies through an immersive, site-responsive installation at Franklin House.
