IN-BETWEEN - New exhibition at Wozownia Gallery in Poland

This month I will be exhibiting a selection of my works from my series 'Immigration Day' in the exhibition IN-BETWEEN alongside Maria Kapajeva, Ania Ready and Masha Pryven

IN-BETWEEN

Borders, migration and identity are constantly in our news, yet what do those stories ever tell us about real life aside from what is urgent and immediate. News and media are plagued by drama and false sincerity. These four contemporary artists have worked to bring new narratives to the burgeoning stories of migration. Two of them, Maria Kapajeva and Masha Pryven have worked collaboratively with groups of refugees and migrants. Then Elizabeth Ransom reflects on her own family experience of migration looking acutely at the very day they moved from one country to another. While the fourth artist, Ania Ready, materialises displacement and postwar migration through soil, collected from places central to a Polish Holocaust survivor.
All the artists use alternative photographic methods and/or hands-on analogue techniques to act as a cipher for the complexity of the stories they are relating, all four have been affected themselves by changing borders and migration. The layering of information in their practical methods is so different to that of photojournalism, less instant, more contemplative, perhaps in some ways more approachable. Certainly, the beauty in these images draws us in and in a slow, thoughtful manner unfolds their stories to us.

‍Artists: Maria Kapajeva (Estonia/UK), Masha Pryven (Ukraine/Germany), Elizabeth Ransom (UK/USA), Ania Ready (Poland/UK).
