A
event
on Thursday 17th October. The event starts at 17:00.
Join us to celebrate the opening of exhibitions in the South East of the city, including:
- The Magic Money Tree by Kirsty Mackay (Bricks St. Anne’s House) - working across the UK to document the impact of the cost-of-living crisis and the realities of poverty in the world’s sixth largest economy.
- Not a Home Without Fire by Bandia Ribeira (Bricks St. Anne’s House) - documenting the lives of agricultural workers in the ‘Sea of Plastic’, a vast network of greenhouses in Almeria, Spain, that produce out-of-season vegetables to be exported across Northern Europe.
- Monument by Trent Parke (Martin Parr Foundation) - an elegy to time, to the late light of Sydney streets, the movement of people and the circling of moths as night falls.
- Realms of Memory by Billy H.C. Kwok, Jay Lau & Lau Wai (Royal Photographic Society) - In response to photographic archives of Hong Kong, artists Billy H.C. Kwok, Jay Lau, and Lau Wai have developed new projects that interpret the stories of their home city, while revealing the gaps that exist.
