Octopus Container
The Sainsbury Centre invites an intervention by the protest and art collective Not here to be liked, which asks: can activism in museums help people consider their agency and power differently, in the context of the climate crisis?
The installation, a blue shipping container installed in the Sainsbury Centre’s sculpture park, provides a glimpse into a universe where environmental activists aren’t kept away from institutions and instead invited in – creating space for visitors to engage with deeper questions of life, death and urgency through the language of action.
Octopus Container is part of a six-month season of interlinked exhibitions and events that explore the question Can the Seas Survive Us?
