es devlin on drawing 50 people displaced from their homelands for her installation in london
Briefly

In Congregation, Es Devlin’s latest installation, fifty portraits of displaced individuals encourage reflection on the human cost of conflict, expressed through art and performance.
Devlin emphasizes that the installation is not just visual but a performance, combining projections, the art of dance, and the voices of displaced people to enhance the narrative.
The portraits of displaced people, each holding an empty box, aim to symbolize loss while the animations projected onto the boxes represent cherished memories and identity.
With Congregation, Devlin invites viewers to witness not just art but the stories of resilience and displacement that are often overlooked in the global narrative.
