R.I.O.T (26 October – 7 November 2023) is a perfect example of the alchemical process of transmutation. Sixteen riot helmets began their journey on the front lines of public disorder operations for law enforcement in the United Kingdom. They served two functions on the streets, helping protect police heads and producing an element of fear once deployed. Sixteen international artists, with practices ranging from fine art to street art graffiti, were specifically invited for their personal skill sets and tasked with transforming riot helmets into Peace Helmets.
