The Forever Temporary

Nicolaas van de Lande & Lucía Scarselletta

Fungus Press Residency: ‘Passing Through’

Becky Bone

to 6 Dec 2024

‘passing through’ is a poetic response to the act of moving through each site at different times; stopping and observing what or who else is passing through; but also imagining what or who else has and will.

Project Space: a free creative space for Croydon l

Project Space: a free creative space for Croydon locals!

Project Space is a creative community project space which is FREE to use by Croydon locals for projects, events and exhibitions for up to two weeks.

The aim of the Project Space is to give local people and organisations the chance to test out ideas and projects that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to, when space is increasingly challenging to find at reasonable cost in Croydon, especially with good access and visibility. Priority is given to nonprofit groups, early career and under-supported creatives.

🌱 About the space:
- Approx 38 sq/m
- Window visibility with the shopping centre
- Equipt with projector
- Full cork wall

🌱 Conditions of use:
- You must be living and/or working in Croydon, or working directly with a local on your project.
- For any creative use.
- You’re responsible for all of install, deinstall and marketing of your use.
- You must leave the space as you found it.
- We ask that funded projects pay for space use where they are able. This helps us keep the space available for free for those who need it most.

‘Passing Through' by Becky Bone [@beckybone_] co

‘Passing Through' by Becky Bone [@beckybone_] continues this month at Fungus Press sites around Croydon! 💐

Displayed @ sites around Croydon: Park Hill Park, Wandle Park & Reeves Corner

‘Passing Through’ is a poetic response to the act of moving through each site at different times; stopping and observing what or who else is passing through; but also imagining what or who else has and will.

Each site’s significance is unique to the individuals passing through, yet these physical spaces bind us and our stories, offering opportunity for connection and understanding. The small moments and stories I’ve encountered during my residency are interwoven throughout each poem, and encourage the reader/listener to meditate on their own stories and relationship with each site.
