Join us for the highly anticipated opening night of the new solo exhibitions by Olu Oggunaike and Young In Hong at Spike Island in Bristol. Get ready to be captivated by the thought-provoking artworks presented by these talented artists.

Olu Oggunaike's exhibition, titled "Fix Your Face," is a site-specific commission that showcases a unique combination of handmade OSB, charcoal screen prints, silt from the river Avon, and charred objects recovered from the recent fire at Underfall Yard. This historic boatyard near Spike Island adds a layer of significance to Oggunaike's work, making it even more compelling.

Young In Hong's exhibition, "Five Acts," is a fascinating exploration of lesser-known histories through photographic archives, with a specific focus on the history of women's labor in Korea. The centerpiece of this commission is an embroidered tapestry that vividly depicts women workers' protests in Korea from the twentieth century to the present day. Inspired by the renowned Bayeux Tapestry, Hong's version incorporates reinterpretations of photographs showcasing women's struggles for better working conditions. Additionally, these powerful images from the tapestry will be reimagined through a series of captivating performances accompanied by an original musical score.

Mark your calendars for the Preview Night on February 2, 2024, at Spike Island in Bristol. This event is free of charge, providing the perfect opportunity for art enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the creative narratives presented by Olu Oggunaike and Young In Hong.

Loved every aspect of this museum. Firstly, it doesn&#39;t feel like just one museum. There is an actual SS Great Britain exhibition, with so much to learn about the ship, before even stepping foot on it.&nbsp;
