TEXTUS is not static; it is unfolding, refolding and enfolding. Drawing on the identity and history of the Torriano as a meeting house, TEXTUS calls for collaboration between its displaying artists, poets and visitors. Visitors are encouraged to relax on a sofa or chair, converse and use the provided writing materials to respond to the exhibited works.
Torriano Meeting House was squatted by John Rety, his wife Susan and daughter Emily in 1982 to live and work in. The meeting house evolved on the ground floor and was eventually given official status as a volunteer-run, arts and community organisation.
