Archer's Legacy Lives

Homegrown Festival 2026

'Archer’s Legacy Lives' is a three-part exploration of the life and legacy of John Archer.

Event Info
This fluid, abstract composition features reflective, liquid-like shapes suspended in deep blue space. The image conjures up an imagined underwater environment, with hints of movement and texture that evoke memories of long-forgotten swimming pools. Rather than depicting a literal space, the unstable, continuously shifting forms appear as if shaped by memory, perception and reinterpretation. Created through observation, reconstruction, and reimagination, the image reflects the workshop's approach to space. Sitting between documentation and fiction, it visualises a collective attempt to see the building differently - not as it is now, but as it once was.

29 - 30 May
