Environmental photography exhibition highlighting and celebrating the positive contributions migrants & refugees make to society & Bournemouth in particular.

It begins with documentary portraits of Ukrainians working across different sectors of the United Kingdom, highlighting the many ways they contribute to everyday British life. The exhibition then moves into contemporary visual art, exploring the symbolism of hands, work, creativity, hospitality and the cultural contribution of Ukrainian artists living in the UK.

A ruined church…an eroded coast…footprints in the dust…the dregs of a drink… these are all traces, remains and Vestiges of past events, and the inspiration for this project, inspired by landscape and plein-air painter Frances Hatch.

For over a year, a group of Bournemouth Arts Club members have been soaking up Vestiges of the past - ancient and recent, in all their forms. Now, at this exciting new space in Boscombe’s Sovereign Centre, we present our responses, our discoveries and our ideas, in a multi-media exhibition under the banner of Southern Contemporaries, an exhibiting arm of the Bournemouth Arts Club.

TUSSOCK, Kiki Birtles
2026

We walk through Dorset's countryside over its hills and through its valleys, feeling the ridges of iron age hill forts and bronze age earthworks beneath our feet, further rounding its once imposing bright chalk fortresses into rolling grass hills.

TUSSOCK explores what is left behind, what lies beneath, and how our "natural" beauty has been shaped and formed over millennia by human intervention.

TUSSOCK is an installation based around a series of costumes to be worn in the landscape, creating a connection between the wearer and the environment by turning them into one of the grassy ramparts of the hill fort. The work questions how contemporary and future generations will create space for themselves against a backdrop of rigid preservation. What should we leave behind and what should we return to nature?

FOOTFALL is a reflection on the marks we leave in the landscape as we move through it and how it resonates with memory.
