Warm The Out Side Pool Up
UNTHINKABLE Film Festival Art Exhibition
1st-31st October 2025
Paint, Print, Sculpture, Textiles, Word, Audio, Performance, Installation
Exhibition of works by 30 artists selected through a call to respond to the prompt 'Warm the outside pool up'.
​
In this collaborative approach to exhibition development, HARI and Unthinkable wanted a prompt for artistic responses that echoed filmic processes, and also reflected life in Hull at this moment, so we distributed a series of boxes all around the city asking people how they felt 'right here, write now'.
​
The prompt selected from these written responses for the basis of this year's is both ambiguous and provocative in many ways.
"UNTHINKABLE is a short film festival set up as a CIO charity based in Hull, East Yorkshire, and is now in its third year. We consider film to be the 7th art, involving elements from all different art forms, so as a part of our festival we celebrate this through art exhibitions, music events and performances which fall alongside our film programme. We aim to provide a platform for grassroots creatives with an emphasis on creating opportunity for people within the Hull and Humber catchment area. The type of work we want to platform is that which tries to do something new and exciting (unthinkable!) in some aspect.
For the past three years we have held an exhibition showcasing local artists’ work as part of the UNTHINKABLE film festival. This year, we're very excited to be collaborating with HARI and their new space at 25 Francis Street for the exhibition, and together have developed a new approach for the call-out and selection of works."
