Weasel from 'Army of Weasels'
Dominic Bennett
Dominic has been based at Venture Arts since 2013. During this time he has shown his work in venues across Manchester, as well as in London and New York. In 2018 Dominic received the award for Young Creative of The Year at The Manchester Culture Awards.
In 2016-17 he took part in Project X at HOME Manchester, a year-long professional development programme for talented young creatives from diverse backgrounds. The resulting takeover event, This Is Human, featured Dominic’s Weasel Nation, a playable arcade game he created in partnership with Venture Arts and a professional game designer called Olly Venning.
Since 2018, Dominic has been creating an ever-expanding artwork called Weasel Army, featuring increasing numbers of ceramic weasels. Originally these were all handmade by Dominic, but more recently he has been teaching groups to make their own to add to the army. During the 2020 lockdown, families in Manchester were sent ‘create your own ceramic weasel’ kits along with video and written instructions by Dominic.
During lockdown, Dominic also curated his first solo exhibition, Your Nightmares are Coming to Life, which he launched on Halloween 2020.
