Twelve artists map out their next steps. Transit refers to their processes of working, both individually and in tandem, and to the present space that fleetingly they cohabit. Glass doors separate their work from that of the building contractors working to complete the changes to the UWE's Art Media and Design campus at Bower Ashton. Both are 'camped out' around the former main entrance to the site, a reminder of the institution's prior manifestations.

The group are postgraduate students at differing stages of MA by Project based at Bower Ashton campus, with practices as diverse as each artist’s background. No single theme was initially agreed upon, save notions bound up in the word 'transit' which have caught the interest of each member,
and so given the show its title.
