We had a great time during Open Studios on Saturday, showing visitors around our space at 25 Francis Street, and introducing the diverse practices and enquiries being explored through research, experimentation and engagement by Artists in Residence at HARI. In situ at present you can find the work of 8 artists, and gain insights to their ideas and processes. We will be open again on Tuesday 5th May, 12-6pm, so pop in and meet the artists if you missed us on Saturday, or come back for a second view and chat to the artists. A huge thanks to all of the artists engaged, and to all of the people who came along and enriched their research with comments and questions. #hullopenstudios #artiststudios #studiopractice #artistsinresidence #researchinpractice #exploringideas #artsengagement

What Have We Seen? ~ a group photography show @brew_hull was extended through January 2026. It closes 05.02.2026 and we are having a closing party. All invited and welcome - 18:30-21:00. ^^^ Cefn Capharnaum shows selections from a series of photos, a notebook, and a found notebook. They document a few days in Cricieth during the Covid pandemic - clearing-dealing with-packing up a house belonging to my grandparents which they couldn’t return to. They never really moved in. ^^^ The found notebook belonged to my great-grandfather - a provincial bank manager. The label on the cover says - Holiday for two Record of a walking holiday in Herefordshire August 1935 - It fits in the gap between cash book and diary - inbetween the listing of expenses - activities and itineraries emerge. My great-grandparents retired to North Wales in the 70s and some sections are updated - particularly a description of Ludlow as ‘very dingy looking’. All the writing is in pencil and over-written in pen (possibly reminiscing in retirement) - possibly two hands. - All of these hands - boxing items, accounting trips, re-writing - are the things that draw me to the things we keep. A found postcard shows the setting of Cefn - the name of the house to be cleared - un-family-related. Even the reverse of that has a crossed-out message and seems unsent. - #theaimlessarchive #cefncapharnaum

Happy New Year, we hope 2026 brings lightness and brightness for all! In keeping with its exploration of opposites, to end our Solstice to Epiphany programme we have our first event of the year… Sunday 4th January, 2.30-5.30pm! One reading of the word hari is ‘to dispel the darkness’, and we see research, experimentation and engagement as the means of bringing insights and casting light on artists’ subject interests and practices. Following on from our 2nd Sunday - which included brilliant performances by @haribo_voodoo_ritual @doodle_demon @clark.michelle50 @onyx.o.x and interactive infinite mirror projection by @skprojections -Sunday #3. continues to invite people to interact with darkness and light, and consider their meeting points and significations through the artworks and activities presented. Adding to the story this week, we will be joined by @matt_hopper_art with the project he is developing during his MA: The Temple of Eternal Change, and ‘Stations of the Signs’; and @linjamart21 shares images in her Threshold series capturing fleeting light, which she is developing during her 12 Days of Creativity. If you engaged with the 12 Days of Creativity challenge during Epiphany, you are welcomed to bring the things you made to this date, and discuss how they can be used to illuminate the coming months with @lindakingart If you have other work or ideas for activities inspired by the dark and/or luminosity, you are welcome to bring them to the event – or send us light/dark photos for inclusion in the reel composed by @bad.___.soup and @pixelsviaproxy We will also be reflecting on HARI’s occupation of this space so far, and visioning for our progression in 2026. *Bring a torch, and wrap up for the cold. **Hot drinks available, but flask or travel cup recommended. #solsticetoepiphany #darknessandlight #darknessandluminosity #reflectingandimagining

Feeling so thankful for this exhibition, to all the artists involved, to @brew_hull and all the nice comments I’ve had about the work. Thank you all 🙏 What Have We Seen? continues this week till 19th.

Solstice to Epiphany: 3 Sundays of meeting and exploring ideas in celebration of the season and its symbolism. In this period of long nights, it feels appropriate to explore the notion and reality of the dark, and of moments of brightness within it. Both on an outing to start the conversations on Sunday 21st (Winter Solstice), and in our space which is unlit by electricity on the following two Sundays (during the 12 days of Epiphany), HARI and associated artists will seed the enquiry with creative activities and interventions. If you would like to add something to the creative interventions, activities or discussion topics, DM us with your ideas, or bring your work along on Sunday 28th December or 4th January. If you would like to join us at Rudston, and have space in your car to offer or would like a lift if available, please message HARI or @lindakingart , and we will arrange connections where we can. More information on the 3 Sundays coming soon! #darknessandlight #lumiosity #solsticetoepiphany #wintersolstice #rudstonmonolith #brightnessindarkness #lightanddark

Still feeling incredibly grateful for everyone around me right now. Being part of a group exhibition with some of the most creative people I know is truly a blessing. @m0nk_333 @victoriasmith.uk @bad.___.soup @the.aimless.archive @pixelsviaproxy @courtneygunnphoto @megmorrisphoto @jfosterart @phatphotohull @albert_longface (^^best installers going ^^) Endless gratitude to @bren.mccourt from @brew_hull for keeping the space full of art and community DIY always, keep it in Hull
