Join Martin Glover for a free British Sign Language (BSL) introduction to Mimosa House’s latest exhibition OWED TO CHIRON (The Wounded Healer), a solo show by artist Hannah Catherine Jones. Stay for an optional social chat and refreshments afterwards at the gallery.
ABOUT OWED TO CHIRON (The Wounded Healer)
For their first solo exhibition in the UK, Hannah Catherine Jones has transformed Mimosa House into an immersive, sensory space, incorporating plants, oil blends, soundscapes and teas. Within this setting, the show presents new and existing works by the artist (many of which have never been exhibited due to the Covid-19 pandemic) in the form of videos, installations, performances, sound works and drawing.
OWED TO CHIRON plays with the multiple definitions of Chiron: the astronomical outer solar system object (or ‘queer celestial body’ as Jones refers to it), Chiron performs an erratic orbit pattern and refuses straightforward categorisation, simultaneously behaving like a comet, meteor and dwarf planet; the ancient Greek mythological centaur ‘Chiron’ known for polymathic gifts and abilities particularly in medicine, music, and botany, amongst others; and the astrological significance of Chiron as the wounded healer - representing how we work through our psychological wounds in life.
Amidst a backdrop of ongoing interlocking global crises, OWED TO CHIRON explores connections between displaced peoples of the diaspora, and the cultural importance and healing potentialities of sound.
