Ruya showcases a collection of photographs made over the last year, created during an extended series of workshops, facilitated by Morwenna Kearsley. The exhibition title is primarily a female name of Arabic origin that means vision, sight or dream. The exhibition comprises of self-portraiture and still life, produced in a process of discovering a photographic voice: through workshopping, experimentation, and play.
Taking inspiration from photographers such as Shirin Nashat, Zanele Muholi and Vivian Maier; visiting museums and galleries and undertaking workshops in the studio and the darkroom, the group used their cameras to look at themselves and each other, as their lives progressed and changed.
The project is part of Street Level Photoworks’ Culture Collective programme.
All welcome – no need to register.
