Project Description
See me – Manningham Art Gallery
See Me is an exhibition at Manningham Art Gallery that was cancelled due to the governments’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Featuring a selection of paintings, drawings, mixed-media and ceramic works alongside photographic portraits of the artists by Peter Tarasiuk, the exhibition asks viewers to really ‘see’ the identity and story of the person behind the artwork. More broadly, See Me looks at ongoing issues around social inclusion and representation of people with intellectual disabilities in the community.
The Araluen artists who exhibited their work are Tony Allan, Brady Freeman, Jason Horton, Melissa Kent, Tim McCall, Kate Steart and Shane Williams. Each of them has a unique voice and style that comes through their work, encouraged in their individual practice at Araluen’s supported studios.
While people were unable to attend the exhibition, we were able to take some footage of the exhibition that we can share with the community. Please get in touch if you are interested in purchasing any of the work.
The artists and everyone involved in See Me would appreciate your feedback. Please email us at artconnects@araluen.org and let us know what you think
