Katie Paterson: Afterlife Exhibition Launch
Join us to celebrate the opening of Katie Paterson’s Afterlife, a sculptural installation of nearly 200 amulets. Initially commissioned for Folkestone Triennial 2025, each amulet is created with materials sourced from endangered landscapes and fragile ecosystems, exploring themes of deep time, geology, and the environment. Drawing on centuries of cultural and spiritual traditions, Afterlife prompts us to reflect on the fragility of the natural world today.
🎟️ This event is free but ticketed – please book your spot at the link in our bio!
