Memen­to Vivere/​Memento Mori: Pri­vate View

About this event

Memen­to Vivere – Memen­to Mori (Remem­ber to Live – Remem­ber You Must Die) 

Curat­ed by Gaë­tan Gauthier 

The Pri­vate View will take place on Thurs­day 17 April, from 6.30PM to 9.30PM. 

The exhi­bi­tion will run from 17 April to 30 July 2025 at Faith in Strangers. 

Faith in Strangers proud­ly presents its first-ever curat­ed exhi­bi­tion: Memen­to Vivere – Memen­to Mori (Remem­ber to Live – Remem­ber You Must Die) — a sen­su­al and soul­ful med­i­ta­tion on human con­nec­tion, the body, and the ever-shift­ing rhythm of life by the sea. 

Curat­ed by Gaë­tan Gau­thi­er, this debut show is a cel­e­bra­tion of pres­ence — of danc­ing, of shared meals, of glances held and con­ver­sa­tions sparked. Set against the moody tides of Mar­gate, Memen­to Vivere – Memen­to Mori is a love let­ter to this place and the peo­ple who inhab­it it, where each wave seems to whis­per: remem­ber to live… and remem­ber, too, that it will not last. 

Fea­tur­ing works by Lily Hugh­es, Megan O’Reilly, Jamie Brown, Stephen Hiam, Ellie Tate, Alex Fos­ter, and Jonathan Hugh­es, the exhi­bi­tion lay­ers print, paint­ing, and sculp­ture to explore inti­ma­cy in its many forms — from fleet­ing touch­es to last­ing impres­sions. These artists move through mem­o­ry, sen­su­al­i­ty, and rit­u­al, invit­ing us to feel some­thing real, raw, and unfiltered. 

Mar­gate becomes more than a back­drop here — it is a liv­ing pulse. This is a show about the deli­cious urgency of life, the beau­ty of end­ings, and the deep, human need to con­nect — with each oth­er, with place, and with the wild mag­ic of the sea. 

Come ready to feel. Stay long enough to remember.
