Have you listened to all four episodes of the Future Artefacts x Henry Moore Institute podcast yet?
Hosted by artists Nina Davies, Rebecca Edwards and Niamh Schmidtke, these episodes have been recorded to accompany the exhibition Phantasmagoria: Folkloric Sculpture for the Digital Age at Henry Moore Institute until Sunday 30 August 2026.
This mini-series features specially commissioned audio works and discussion linking to the themes of the exhibition:
Episode 1
Phantasmagoria: An Introduction with Phantasmagoria curator Sean Ketteringham
A discussion moving between folk art histories, sculptural practices, affect theory, hauntology, horror and memetic culture, exploring what functions as contemporary folklore and questioning what sculpture becomes when it exists through circulation and interaction, rather than static objects.
Episode 2
Phantasmagoria: Hallucination Stream by Sahej Rahal
Mumbai-based artist and UCLA assistant professor Sahej Rahal whose practice spans sculpture, video games, AI simulations, film and painting, reads excerpts from his text Hallucination Stream.
Episode 3
Phantasmagoria: The Mandjet by Sarah Al-Sarraj
Artist Sarah Al-Sarraj presents a new audio work The Mandjet, framed as a fictional radio phone-in and set in a near future reshaped by rising waters and contested borders, the work uses humour, satire and political tension to explore how environmental crisis transforms our relationship to land, water and community.
Episode 4
Phantasmagoria: Field Image by Bassam Issah Al-Sabah
Artist Bassam Issah Al-Sabah presents Image Field, a new collaborative work with Jennifer Mehigan, where landscapes shaped by extraction, memory and technological infrastructure are contextualised through the shifting terrain of the Irish bog.
