"Reimagine"
Olivia Arthur and Bharat Sikka
This exhibition features the work of two photographers. Olivia Arthur and Bharat Sikka work within communities in Brighton and Mumbai respectively. Both cities have completely different views on gender and sexuality.
The subjects of the images are people who identify with the LGBTQ+ community. I believe what the photographs are trying to represent is the ubiquity of of such communities around the globe. In places where the politics of gender and sexuality are remarkably different, they show how members of this worldwide community are connected with each other, regardless of where they are from or whether they have even met.
"The Dandy Lion Project"
Curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis
The Dandy Lion Projected is a series of 150 images from the work's of around 30 photographers from around the globe. The photographs depicts black men in Edwardian era attire in a cityscape environment. These photographs defy stereotypes of black male identity, fashion and youth culture by bringing in to view an underrepresented group of people.
"Our City, How Do We Look?"

Exploring the politics of age, gender and representation, Guyat, chooses to focus on older women who show off their individuality with unique fashion statements. It is usually the case that fashion is considered the domain of the trendy and young. In her images, Guyat undermines this assumption by representing fashion conscious individuals from a different generation. She proves that making fashion statements is not an age specific behaviour.
