We had the opportunity to attend the latest exhibition at Castlefield Gallery featuring the work of Mishka Henner and Emily Speed at a preview event last night. Their 18-month residencies with Energy House 2.0 at the University of Salford has resulted in powerful, immersive installations that aim to challenge our understanding of sustainability, data, and domestic spaces.
Henner’s sound and video piece transforms live lightning strike data into a dynamic musical score, drawing parallels between global weather patterns and the cutting-edge research at Energy House 2.0. Meanwhile, Speed’s exploration of architectural norms pushes boundaries on how space, design, and social structures shape our lives.
The intersection of art, science, and climate research in this exhibition was fascinating—a reminder for us the role that creativity can play in shaping a more sustainable future.
If you have a chance to visit, we highly recommend it! Energy House 2.0: Mishka Henner and Emily Speed – Castlefield Gallery
