Growing urban populations, rapid advancements in technology and access to resources are causing tectonic shifts in the way we live and communicate. They are changing the way we experience culture.

The Blurring the Lines exhibition presents sixteen people who are navigating these changes and opening up ideas, communities and platforms to reimagine our collective future. It is open from 2 October – 19 December 2014 at the British Council London and produced by Watershed with the Creative Economy team.

Blurring the Lines also includes a new piece from Yuri Suzuki, a sound artist and designer, whose work blends technological know-how and great ideas with playful, thought-provoking results. This piece was commissioned by onedotzero and Wits University during the first Tshimologong Digital Hub artist in residence programme. For this commission, he worked with local artists Bogosi Sekhukhuni, Neo Mahlasela and technologist Nathan Gates, to hack musical instruments and create quirky, intriguing performances in public space.  This forms part of Connect ZA, the British Council’s 2014-15 UK/South Africa cultural season.
