Ali Cherri How I Am Monument
Ali Cherri’s multidisciplinary practice encompasses film, sculpture, installation, drawing and performance. In this major exhibition, Cherri presents new and recent work in Baltic's expansive Level 4 gallery inspired by archaeological artefacts and the natural world.
How I Am Monument has been developed in partnership with Vienna Secession. Supported by Fluxus Art Projects, Henry Moore Foundation, ArtAV. With thanks to Imane Farès gallery.

Foundation Press are artists, designers and educators Adam Phillips and Deborah Bower. They devise initiatives and resources that support diverse communities to explore creativity and storytelling. Their work is rooted in the North-East of England where they work broadly, across subject matter and context, using their collaborative and inclusive practice to initiate conversation, celebration and creative action.
The exhibition will feature material from the Foundation Press archive, including posters, banners, wallpapers and collaborative publications that traces their contribution and impact across design, print, and community practice over the last 10 years. Over the course of the exhibition, Foundation Press will collaborate with schools, community groups and wider audiences — contributing to a changing display of drawings, prints, publications and video works.
The installation will include a studio space, where visitors can make and display their own artistic responses, as well as a Risograph print space that will host a programme of activity, displays and events across the exhibition run.
Starting Lines will offer visitors and participants creative inspiration throughout its six-month run, highlighting the role of creativity as a powerful tool for meaning making, connection and community.
