Welcome to the second edition of The Coronet for 2023.The past four months have been a remarkably busy time for the Trust, and I'm pleased to share an update on our latest news and developments.
In early September,AngelaTiatia's The Dark Current, the final work in the Ian Potter Moving Image Commission (IPMIC) series, premiered atACMI. Congratulations toAngela on the launch of this outstanding new work, which explores migration, femininity and the intersection of digital and physical realms. At the premiere, I was delighted to hearAngela speak on The Dark Current's themes and how the commission supported her in pushing the boundaries of her creative practice. I encourage all who can, to visit the exhibition atACMI, which is running until 4 February 2024, with free entry for all visitors.
