Born For Such a Time as This - Buckham Artist Collaborators

One of the joys of being part of a family of artists are the opportunities to share ideas and thoughts on creative practice. Each year our collective votes on a theme to explore throughout the year with the creation of new artworks. The 2025 theme, Born For Such a Time as This, comes to fruition with this anthology of compositions by our collaborating writers and annual group exhibition to be held in November by our collaborating visual artists.
This year’s theme comes from the Book of Esther imploring one to show faith through solidarity with others and action against the injustices they face. Larger society will survive its current struggles but your choice to remain silent is its own form of complicity and will eventually guarantee your destruction. The Old Testament passage continues, almost as a consolation prize, “And who knows whether you were not born for such a time as this.” This verse is as humanist as it is religious, evokes active intervention as much as it does passive faith. Our contemporary world is rich with opportunities to speak out and act, whether bringing baby formula by boat to fight back against the televised ethnic cleansing and genocide of indigenous peoples, or calling out corruption, cruelty and greed under threat of arrest. But hope rises from the leveling equality of the odds, the agnostic 50/50 chance of success challenging a pre-destined fate. The only certainty guaranteed is you will fail if you never try.  So, why not have faith that this moment of great struggle is being met by the right actors?
