Opening 14th - 21st August ⭐️⭐️. Across painting, sculpture and mixed media, the group exhibition ‘Rhizone’ brings together works that approach transformation through distinct yet interconnected artistic practices. Portraiture moves beyond conventional representation to foreground bodily presence; sculptural forms inhabit uncertain spaces between the human and the non-human; memory slips into imagination; and inner experience takes material form. Rather than presenting these as separate concerns, the exhibition reveals them as interconnected ways of questioning how
identities, bodies, memories and meanings are continually formed, negotiated and
transformed.

Opening 14th - 21st August. ⭐️⭐️ Across painting, sculpture and mixed media, the group exhibition ‘Rhizome’ brings together works that approach transformation through distinct yet interconnected artistic practices. Portraiture moves beyond conventional representation to foreground bodily presence; sculptural forms inhabit uncertain spaces between the human and the non-human; memory slips into imagination; and inner experience takes material form. Rather than presenting these as separate concerns, the exhibition reveals them as interconnected ways of questioning how identities, bodies, memories and meanings are continually formed, negotiated and transformed. Come on down 14th August 6-10PM for the preview!

Holding Space: Young artists in conversation with the world.

Levenshulme High School present Holding Space- an exhibition dedicated to the vital act of creating room for dialogue.

​This showcase features work tackling pressing global and personal issues from the unfiltered perspective of the next generation. By “holding space,” these students invite viewers to witness their reflections, anxieties, and hopes, making the gallery a place to pause, observe, and listen to the next generation.
