Future Pasts

Future Pasts

Future Pasts is Henna Asikainen’s extraordinary project with people new to the North East. Together, they have discovered local landscapes along Hadrian’s Wall in a series of community walks, documenting them with photos, poetry and a performative protest. D6: Culture in Transit brings these together in a celebratory exhibition, drawing threads between migration, occupation and landscape from Roman times to today.

We invite visitors to immerse themselves in the rich and layered series of work on display, to reflect on Hadrian’s Wall as a metaphor that resonates with migration and belonging, and nationalism and borders. It is also a chance to celebrate the connections made through shared journeys, the long history of migration that has formed the UK, and the beauty and fragility of our local landscapes and ecosystems.
