Moving in (the next world) expands on Come As You Are, Little Umbrella Collective’s online exhibition, bringing the work into a shared physical space. While the online exhibition introduced the individual practices of the artists, this new chapter focuses more closely on collaboration, collective making and the experience of inhabiting space together.

The exhibition approaches the gallery as a place of dwelling. Rather than presenting works as separate objects, the gallery is treated as a space that artists move into and shape collectively. Materials and ideas intersect across painting, textile, sculpture, video, sound and installation, forming a layered atmosphere that reflects the relationships between the artists.

The idea of “moving in” also reflects the creation of a temporary home. The exhibition embraces a domestic sensibility, treating the gallery as a place to inhabit.

Little Umbrella Collective is grounded in the belief that artists with disabilities should be supported to develop sustainable, professional practices while remaining connected to community and shared experience.
