Projects & Events 2025

An exhibition of work in response to HARI's new building at 25 Francis St by 25 artists who undertook 25hr micro-residencies there.  This was an opportunity for HARI to consult on how artists worked in the space and how the building could be used for exhibition.

HARI's Director, Sarah Pennington, undertook a 3 month residency on a housing estate in Dumfries.  Working with residents she produced 25 plates commemorating the area, plus a series of her own found object sculptural responses, which were exhibited around the estate and in the LIFT Cabin.​​

An exhibition as part of Unthinkable Film Festival (1-12/10/25), curated from a call out which invited artists to respond to this enigmatic prompt.  Works by 33 artists created a fascinated interweaving of ideas and materials, and were enhanced further by a variety of events.

HARI's self-directed residency opportunities are underway, each co-designed between artist and HARI.  These include Linda King's bringing together different aspects of her artistic and healing practices, and her exploration of their meeting with our space.
