A pop-up display of new photography exploring shared experiences of growing up with long-term health conditions.
Created by young people, the images communicate the challenges they face: experiences of physical and emotional pain, navigating complex personal relationships, how they deal with stigma and the stress of uncertainty that comes through everyday routines of medication and hospital treatment.
The portraits also explore hopes and aspirations: feelings of joy at discovering new passions, hobbies and friends, imagining a positive future of reaching life goals, higher education and dream employment.
As part of our Thursday Lates, Autograph's galleries will be open until 9pm, with free entry.
The pop-up display ME: Past Present Future will be in the Studio on the ground floor. There will be a celebration with the artists, and food and refreshments will be provided. Everyone is welcome to join us.
Our current exhibition by Lina Iris Viktor will also be open.
For 30 years Autograph has engaged with diverse groups and communities to explore issues of identity, representation, social justice and human rights through photography and film.
At our gallery and in the community, we create welcoming spaces for people to share experiences, make artwork and become inspired by contemporary photographers and our unique archive.
