‘They didn’t prepare us for this’ presents outcomes by two professional artists in a
world that their university, nor the government could prepare them for. Their
site-specific installation references the global current events of the pandemic, but
also personal events of how the pandemic has affected both artists while graduating.

“The pandemic has greatly affected our art practices as well as the number of
opportunities we’ve been able to creatively be a part of. ‘They didn’t prepare us for
this’ has given us both the opportunity to express the difficulties we’ve faced over the
last year or so and we invite others to interact with the work we’ve created during
these trying times.” -Scarlett Hope-Gates

Both Scarlett Hope-Gates and Sol Gjøines graduated from UCA Canterbury in July
2021. They have both previously curated ‘IN SUSPENSE: HANGING ON BY A THREAD’
at CRATE, Margate and ‘Make do: The best of a bad situation’ at The Cabin,
Canterbury.
