The Long Journey Home Group now runs under the name of HeadSpace & exhibitions organised by HeadSpace can be found at HeadSpace@EggSpace
The Long Journey Home Group had exhibitions from July 2004 - May 2006 & was founded by Karen Henley & Jazamin Sinclair. Jo Derbyshire, Carolyn Sinclair & Jackie Stevens later got involved in helping to organise & promote the shows.
The group have exhibited twice in shows called: The Long Journey Home 1 & The Long Journey Home 2 at Art SpeQ, Quiggins, once in a show called: Superkalifragilisticexpialidocous at The Kif & once in a show called: What Came First? at EggSpace in association with HeadSpace@EggSpace. (See below for more information.)
The group is made up of a group of nearly 100 artists from all over the globe and artists from all different age ranges, including children. The name The Long Journey Home Group was chosen by Louise Taylor. The reason the group is called The Long Journey Home Group is to try to convey the message that when people exhibit with this group they may have a 'Long Journey' back home if they come to Liverpool or to the UK. The Group has only exhibited so far in Liverpool, where it all began but we are hoping to exhibit in different parts of the UK as well as abroad in the future. This means then that any artists from the group may have to travel to different parts of the UK or abroad in order to exhibit, hence again, 'The Long Journey Home'.
There are hopes of exhibitions happening in Bristol, London, Cardiff, Liverpool & America at the moment, these shows will be organised with help from various members of the group who live in these areas. As the group is made up of so many artists, they do not always all exhibit in every show we have, but when they can they do. If you want to get involved contact: Jazamin Sinclair. Watch this space for more information.
Below is the flag The Long Journey Home Group was asked to create as part of the Start of The London Biennial 2006, as organised by Adam Nankervis (Museum Man). This flag was printed out A2 size & then flown from The Iron Bridge in Sefton Park on Sunday 30 April, 2006 alongside other Liverpool artists. Visit the London Biennial website for more information.
