Site Festival Programme 2025
The Shape of Sound : An exhibition of Abstract sculpture and painting by Alexandra Harley and Noela Bewry at Adderbank Gallery.
Aleph Contemporary exhibits Congruent Sym, a solo show by Marek Tobolewski. His freehand abstractions balance symmetry and space. Rooted in drawing, his meticulous process explores rhythmic structure and central voids, with works that hold both clarity and quiet tension. This exhibition explores Tobolewski’s methodical practice.
Risée Chaderton-Charles, our guest artist from Barbados presents ‘Caribbean Atlantean’, a new series of digital collage pieces created by merging photography, digital illustration, text, and watercolour which tell the stories of Africans who jumped from the slave ships - who chose the water instead of the world of colonizers.
New work by Mark Darbyshire.
The mirror stands, whilst events unfolded, as a witness, silent, mute, emotionless. It keeps no record and makes no judgment. Reflective and overlapping fragments alluding to something (real) but now distant.
Close to the Edge explores the limits, restrictions and value of boundaries within the landscape.
Increasingly the landscape is under pressure to meet social, economic and environmental needs: what is the relatively untouched edges, the ‘set-aside,’ the undergrowth, all of which are now recognised as vital for wildlife diversity.
Sound artist, nature beatboxer and composer Jason Singh performs his live soundtrack to John Grierson’s monumental silent documentary film Drifters at The Goods Shed for Site Festival.
Premiering alongside Battleship Potemkin in 1929, Drifters follows North Sea herring trawlermen through their dramatic daily routines as well as the industry’s struggles between tradition, modernity, and nature.
Playful audio work & podcasts, specially created for SITE 2025 in collaboration with artists & festival producers. The work will be presented in various locations for visitors to encounter.
The GPC (Gloucestershire Printmaking Cooperative) is a fantastic Stroud based printmaking facility that facilitates imagemakers in Gloucestershire.
We have planned a diverse exhibition for SITE Open Studios 2025 throughout the studios and gallery, consisting of original prints that embrace different themes and processes.
This exhibition showcases the paintings of Vanessa Clemente Vincerò and Mick Mills. While both artists emphasise the value of abstract formal elements, such as line, tone and composition to inform their visual language, the expressive use of colour is at the core of their artistic practice.
Three women artists: paintings, printmaking and ceramics in a historic house PLUS cream teas served in the garden (weather permitting)! What’s not to like?
Studio 3 is a collective of artists sharing skills, teaching techniques and creating mixed media artworks. Myrn Fisher, Alice Lovegrove, Marta Mistrzyk and Hannah O’Kelly.
The Studios is home to a collective of multidisciplinary artists who work independently from their own spaces exploring a range of mediums in clay, glass, mosaic, stone and textiles. Dawn Almasi, Millie Beaumont, Johannes Steuck, Natalie Case, Anna Palmer, Marion Mitchell and Helen Rogers.
Ten artists from across the south west and London respond to the theme of adaptable matter at The Hide’s outdoor sculpture exhibition, now in its fourth year.

Come and enjoy film, artwork and live improvised dance in nature by Jemima & Harvey Bennett and members of Bodyscape Dance. No set times.
The artists of Union Street present a new show ‘Tapestry’, incorporating jewellery, textiles, ceramics, folk art sculpture, painting, illustration and animation.

Artists; Heidi Hockenjos, Clemency Calkin, Lorraine Robbins, Tom Sears, Georgina Olley, Jim Pilston, Lucy Inder.
Three independent dance artists with differing approaches, all centred around a deep understanding of the moving body. Visitors are invited to dip into a rolling programme of film, writing and live practise and performance. Sharon Gimpel, Brenda Waite and Alex Howard invite visitors to draw or sketch while they are in the studio.
Patricia Brien & Louise van den Muyzenberg : Mixing metaphors, visitations and projections, this collaborative and independent project pursues near-ancient kin as if they existed once, or will in the coming times.This exhibition considers how ancestral connections manifest in the unconscious and spaces of liminality. It traces other-than-human entities like animal callers, plant spirit, places and fleeting ancestral storylines that present themselves.
The Hundred Heroines Museum is the only museum in the world dedicated to women in photography. “Poisoned Futures” is our flagship exhibition for summer 2025. It brings together the work of international artists, concerned with the impact of climate change on their local environment.
