Visit VOLT gallery this Saturday for the launch of Riviera by Navine G. Dossos ()🪬

Navine G. Dossos has worked with over 50 Eastbourne residents through the creation of 24 stencils relating to the neighbourhood: its history, its population, its businesses, its flora and fauna and its location in the town. Together they have developed a Devonshire Ward-specific language of symbols, featuring palm trees, local gelato, a movie camera and the pier. These elements have been brought together by Dossos to fashion a rich and vibrant textile.

The community is now invited to come together at VOLT, take 2m of fabric each, for free, to then create a variety of items and clothing of their own.

Riviera is a public art commission led by Towner Eastbourne () in collaboration with Devonshire Collective (), supported by Eastbourne ALIVE.

Exhibition open from 27 July to 15 September 2024.
