screening as part of SLANT - artist moving image exchange 3 films programmed by OUTPOST Gallery (Norwich)

LEAVE A FALSE TRAIL digs into the substance of here, wherever here may be, excavating layers of meaning to trace complex histories of sovereignty and belonging. Levelling a critical gaze at structures of cultural reproduction and power, the films move through entangled earth, plumbing and undergrowth to create a programme that digs into it.

OUTPOST is an artist-led charity based in Norwich, committed to the uncompromising presentation of contemporary art. Founded in 2004, the gallery is run by a volunteer steering committee of artists who collectively shape the programme, look after the organisation and learn by doing. The committee changes every two years, deliberately hitting the reset button and bringing new people, ideas and energy into the organisation. In its twenty-two-year history, this has meant eleven different iterations of OUTPOST, each reforming and reimagining what the gallery can be – less a fixed institution than a continually renewed site of opportunity. From its gallery, set back from Wensum Street in Norwich’s historic Tombland, OUTPOST presents twelve exhibitions a year alongside companion programming including readings, residencies, panel discussions and gatherings. Working with organisations in Beirut, Zaporizhzhia and Glasgow, as well as artists based in Rotterdam, Helsinki, Lithuania, London and, of course, Norwich, OUTPOST continues to connect the city to wider artistic networks while making space for the particular communities, relationships and possibilities that emerge from being here.
