24 November – 5 December 11am-5pm Monday-Friday Peter Scott Gallery Price: Free For a final exploration of our 2025 theme Land, Could We Dream in Colour..., a creative investigation into the politics of land use and ownership.

Using creative tactics, this collaboration between James Fox and Dave Shooter disrupts the idea that land is only something to be measured, owned, or enclosed.

Working across sound, embroidery, print, and film, Could We Dream in Colour... challenges our ideas about land; as property, as resource, as environment. Through acts of creative remapping, the works disrupt both visible and invisible borders.

It is also a proposal. The work gestures toward alternative ways of experiencing place and lays the foundation for more inclusive, just, and communal ways of being in and with the world. In doing so, Could We Dream in Colour.... points toward the possibility of a ‘Romantic Revolution’ of the land through creative action and political re-imagination.

James Fox is an artist and researcher engaged with alternative histories and possible futures.

Dave Shooter/Guerrilla Biscuits is a sound artist and musician working primarily with field recordings gleaned from an area to curate place-based immersive sonic journeys.

On 4 December, James and Dave will join us for an evening of debate, disruption (and maybe even some dancing) as we look back on a year of considering land, and look forward to our 2026 theme, Dissent.
