HYPHAE
Gaby Berglund Cárdenas and Art Photographer Bev Hayes
Sharing common experiences of dislocations artists took power and created Hyphae. Hyphae, from the Greek hyphé meaning “web,” a buried network of filaments that joins a collective entity, connecting trees into complex communities. Hyphae is a metaphor for how trees of different species communicate with and support each other, and how humans of all kinds could learn from nature’s way of communication, especially in times of a widespread threat to our existence.
Gaby Berglund Cárdenas (director/performer/installationist) is a Swedish-Ecuadorian multidisciplinary artist who has a M.F.A. from Kyungsung University in Busan, South Korea. She has exhibited internationally and has also studied Asian philosophies.
Together with photographer Bev Hayes created Hyphae. Bev Hayes (co-director/film/photo). British born Hayes (B.F.A., University of the West of England, Bristol) is an experienced photographer and printmaker. Working from a studio in Central Gothenburg.
Both artists live in Sweden.

Bluecoat, Liverpool: The UK's first arts centre
"Bryan Biggs, John Belchem
Oxford University Press, 23 May 2020 - History - 288 pages
' Bluecoat is a unique and much-loved Liverpool institution, its oldest city centre building. This book tells the fascinating story of its transformation from charity school to contemporary arts centre, the UK's first. Its early 18th century origins shed light on the religious and maritime mercantile environment of the growing port, whose merchants supported the school. Echoes from then are revealed in themes explored by artists in the 20th century, including slavery and colonial legacies. The predominant focus is on an inclusive building for the arts, starting with colourful bohemian society, the Sandon, who established an artistic colony in 1907, hosting significant exhibitions by the Post-Impressionists and many leading modern British artists. Bluecoat Society of Arts emerged as the building's custodians, paving the way for the arts centre which, despite financial struggles and wartime bomb damage, survived and continues to play a prominent role in Liverpool's and the UK's culture. Bluecoat is described as where 'village hall meets the avant-garde'. In its rich story, Picasso, Stravinsky, Yoko Ono, Captain Beefheart, Simon Rattle and the inspirational Fanny Calder are just some of the names encountered, as key strands, including music, visual art, performance and the building's tenants, are traced."
