Fourthland
Fourthland is a London-based art practice that explores themes across anthropology, myth and social architecture through a series of participatory and performative projects. Their work, with a focus on ‘acts of care’ and ‘handheld knowledge’, uses traditional craft and performance to interrupt public and private space to form new ways of communing across cultures and disciplines.
