Tell us about your High Street!
Pop by and share your personal memories of nostalgic carrier bags of the past with Glasgow-based artist Katrina Cobain.
You can find Katrina and the Biennial team in the morning at the historic Coventry Market, or in the afternoon at Lower Precinct where you can learn about The Plastic Bag Museum and have the opportunity to become part of its legacy.
In 2020 Katrina began The Plastic Bag Museum, an online performative museum highlighting the social and design history of carrier bags, while exploring plastic’s material qualities and the existential threat that they present. The Plastic Bag Museum has led to correspondence with collectors all over the globe, and an ever expanding collection of bags and related ephemera.
The memories that you share will become part of the first full-scale exhibition of “the institution under your kitchen sink” at Coventry Biennial 2025!
