The Commute ii

ICA Launch April 2016

Conversation is central to iQhiya’s practice as it forms the basis of their collaboration – iQhiya meets, talks and disperses. Their place of meeting is never fixed – from each other’s houses to Wi-Fi hotspots – the ‘studio’ for iQhiya is a mobile space. It is this notion of conversion and mobility that The Commute II seeks to interrogate.
