REFLECTIONS DIGITAL EXHIBITION
‘Reflections’ is a project aimed to provide an opportunity for professional networking through a mentor and mentee process that will strengthen our regional identity, provide creative opportunities to learn, grow and share and explore creative interpretations of our creative landscape.
The ‘Reflections’ project engaged two digital media artists Mike Terry and Suzie Wicks to capture the processes and stories of art making across the North West Region. The artists were paired with aspiring and emerging digital creatives Ijumaa Stephenson and Shae Duncan to capture art-making throughout the North West. The mentors and mentees have captured community arts workshops in the New England North West through digital media.
Focusing on the stories, the interactions, the texture, the materials, and the process of each workshop. Ultimately reflecting on creative practices that bring communities together. This created a space for reflection on the creation of digital stories, that will be shared in the touring exhibition.
The teams have captured workshops though imagery and sound, then worked collaboratively to create innovative digital presentations to share local stories, acknowledge our creative richness, and the story of regional paper making.
The project's aim is to grow our creative base, embrace our similarities, recognise our creative language, and learn from each other.
The Project has created capacity building toward career development in digital media for emerging photographers/videographers and supporting our working artists.
The project has supported the digital creators to visit the venues during the exhibition planning and installation process to grow their skills and learn from gallery curators and exhibition managers.
The stories of creative vitality is shared through this exhibition, extending the theme of ‘Reflection’ while they consider the creative happenings and connectedness through creativity.
