OOPARTs *out of place artefacts is a collaborative project with Bristol-based artist Buoys Buoys Buoys, consisting of two-part touring exhibition and performance. Part 1 took place at Elysium Gallery in Swansea in April 2O23, before travelling to St Anne's House in Bristol for Part II in June 2O23. Linking the hometowns of the two artists.

OOPARTs is an exhibition about objects, how they act as vessels for the stories bestowed on them through folk tradition and community play, and their importance in the construction of heritage and identity. Using speculative futures and fictionalised Welsh artefacts, the exhibition brings together imagined relics reinterpreted with scavenged things, demonstrating how these everyday objects and materials can become vessels for legend.

OOPARTs is the abbreviation for "out of place artefacts" objects of historical, archaeological or cultural importance found in a location that challenges the established historical timeline. The collaborative exhibition developed from a mutual interest in fictioning and folklore, with research centred around Ursula K Le Guin's "Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction", craft and Welsh mystical artefacts, including the Nanteos Cup and Pair Dadeni.

OOPARTs was supported and made possible by Elysium Gallery & Bricks Bristol. A performance on the opening night in collaboration with Plague Stone Party (Buoys Buoys Buoys & Ozzy Algar)
