REVOLTINTASTE - NOW


Trybe
Inland Festival: The Future Project, 2016

Inland Art Festival is a contemporary art festival founded by Alice Mahoney, Cat Bagg and Rosie Allen and produced by Field Notes. It brings diverse communities together in the historic town of Redruth, Cornwall, providing a locally rooted platform for local and regional creative practitioners and opportunities for audiences to see internationally renowned art in unusual locations. Redruth once held the title of ‘richest square mile in the world’, now the monetary wealth has all but gone yet it’s still one of the richest towns we know. The Future Project explored some of the ways these foundations can be built upon to imagine alternative, possible and impossible, weird and wonderful futures. For Inland 2016, the second iteration of the festival, we worked with local residents, artists, academics and musicians, showcasing 120 artists in 21 venues to create a three-day alternative future around Redruth.

Wear(e) The Future, Trybe, 2016
Orange festival tshirts, each with a unique design made using potato prints, lamé, embroidery, badges, and futuristic data collected through The Future Census

For Inland 2016 the festival team uniforms were created by Trybe. Trybe is a creative entity/pseudonym focused on ideas around how a performance of the self is made through clothing decisions, they investigate how association or want of association with a trend or sub-cultural tribe, to try + be, can affect what someone might be saying with how they clothe themselves. The idea of the tribe also occurs in the uniformity of each body of work by Trybe, attempting to create a small community through visual identification.

Wear(e) The Future marks the occurrence of a rare phenomenon - the combination of potato prints, lamé, embroidery, badges, futuristic data and lurid orange all coming together in one t-shirt at one time. Each uniform displays different data collected through various incarnations of The Future Census, information collected from the public about the future of Redruth which was passed onto the artists working on Inland 2016.
