‘From Tyne to Kamo’ is conceptualised and produced by members of Low Res Collective, a north-east based association of early career artists whose goal is to create frameworks and opportunities for collective members and emerging local creatives, rooted in the mutual desire to reject traditional roles and expectations within the arts sphere. The exhibition is directed by Low Res co-founder Molly Callon.

This project is a cross-cultural creative exchange joining artists based in Tyneside, England, and Kyoto, Japan, that seeks to represent culture and identity within urban spaces in a non-institutionalised fashion. Exhibiting artists have endeavoured to source inspiration from their respective cities to portray cross-cultural zeitgeists, culminating in two sister exhibitions, one showing at Vane, England, and the other at Art Spot Korin, Japan. ‘From Tyne to Kamo’ strives to create a dialogue for future thought and interconnectedness during a time of alienation and othering.

Low Res have partnered for this project with Japanese creatives connected to Art Spot Korin, Kyoto, situated near the Kamo River. A familiarity and synchronicity are felt with the River Tyne, nurturing a fellowship between participants and forming the basis for this exchange. Orbis Community Print Workshop, another locally run creative venture, was also invited as a collaborator for parts of this project, facilitating workshops.
‘From Tyne to Kamo’ sets out to discover what parallels can be drawn between daily lives across the globe whilst juxtaposing the distinct differences found within our experiences of the mundane.
