: Acts of Transfer (2026)
Thanks to funding from the University of Brighton's Impact Acceleration Fund, we've been working with artists Katy Beinart and Lizzie Lloyd on a reimagined version of their project Acts of Transfer (2021), which uses image and text to reactivate past socially engaged art projects, making visible their legacies to better understand their ongoing effect. Through ‘re-enacting’ the original work - captured as short films - they reflect on the meaning of the work, how the memory of it shifts, and what both artists and participants have taken away from it.
With funding received on Quiet Down There's 10th anniversary, we have commissioned Katy and Lizzie to examine the act of transfer from our previous location at the Open Market to our new home at the Hub; from one laundry to the next. They've been working with three Harriett's Press customers and resident artist Saj Fareed on a series of sessions which capture the feeling of transfer. Drawing from fragments of the Quiet Down There archive, they have been creating a collaborative scripting process using site specific field recordings, film and transcripts from their conversations.
Their outcomes will be shared soon; we're so excited to see the co-created work. Please keep your eyes peeled for further insights.
