Symbols of Mobility Exhibition - 14 February to 23 March 2025

The Symbols of Mobility is a multidisciplinary, ambitious body of work which explores mobility as a change of state or place. Embracing mobility is a
lifesaver in changing times. This exhibition flies on the wings of the future giving us the support mechanism of wings, inspired by the stories as old as time.

The exhibition is informed through exploring bird lore in proverbs, fairytales, myths and intangible cultural traditions. These are studied with several
communities as well as humans who embody Symbol of Mobility. Dr. Niki Collier has worked with disabled dancer, a Ukrainian refugee, dancers from the Bulgarian community and immigrants from around the globe.
