'Never The Same, Something Else' Private View at the Old Diorama Arts Centre

I documented the opening event for 'Never The Same, Something Else' exhibition, supported and hosted by the Old Diorama Arts Centre.

'Never The Same, Something Else' is an immersive exhibition curated by a group of artists from Central Saint Martins. Their week-long show has been accumulated following a 7-week project led by their studio manager, where the artists researched and responded to artworks by BIPOC Artists from the UAL Art Collection and the British Artist's Film & Video Study Collection through a series of workshops. The students have used the archives to collectively and playfully draw upon a continued history with the works - one which is never the same but something else.

Loudest Whispers 2022 at Old Diorama Arts Centre

I started my collaboration with Old Diorama Arts Centre with documenting the opening of the Loudest Whispers exhibition.

‘Curated and presented by The Arts Project, the exhibition celebrates the strength and power of the LGBTQ+ community, including work from 34 artists linked to an open category and the theme of ‘Politics in Art’. It features both professionally trained and self-taught outsider artists as well as creative supporters of LGBTQ+ rights.’

Physical Distancing Exhibition at Electrowerkz

Recently my work have been included in Physical Distancing, an exhibition curated by Parma Ham. The group show boasting some photographic work and installation pieces documenting and created in response to alt-night life took over the top floor of Electrowerkz in Angel.

Find out more about the show Parma Ham’s website.

Beside showing three prints of photographs taken at Kaos and Klub Verboten, I also had an opportunity to contribute to the film programme presented during the opening night. The video based on my photo essay Scenes of Utter Kaos is a response to the theme of physical distancing and as such explores the experience of disconnection from memories and people representing the tangible world.
