Explore our virtual gallery for the 2021 Online Catalyst Festival
Visit 'The Year That Wasn't', a collection of work from Sputnik artists spanning the last year of our community life.
Update: This gallery is now offline. You can see our new gallery of 2022 work, here.
Sputnik as a project was born out of the Catalyst network of churches, and the bi-annual Catalyst Festival has often been an opportunity for us to showcase Sputnik artists, through exhibitions, workshops and performances.
This year, with the Catalyst Festival taking place online, we’ve put together a virtual gallery of work created by artists in/around the Sputnik network. Most of the work has been created over the course of the last year; some of it tackles the pandemic directly, as artists reflected emotionally, searched for meaning in the chaos, and looked ahead to new things. Other pieces don’t address the pandemic in themselves but were created in moments of stillness, stress, inspiration, or frustration.
The Year That Wasn’t
You can use the menu button in the top-right corner of the gallery to view in fullscreen – or alternatively, open the gallery in its own browser window.
Click on an individual piece of work, and click the ‘i’ button to see more details about that piece, including the artist’s website.
