in ‘Showcase’ . This was a group exhibition, showing painting, prints
and sculpture by alumni of KIAD, in Canterbury (now the UCA). I was
part of that third intake to the part-time Fine Art degree course -
it was life-changing for all of us, and I’m still affectionately
chastised by one member for ‘pushing him through the door’ when he was
called for interview! Well – what else would he have done with his
life?
There’s still time to see ‘Young Roma Women: Self Portraits’ - part
of the collaborative project set up by photographer Manuela Zanotti,
with the support of the Children’s Society. These strong
self-portraits are the face of a young generation of Roma in a new
country: guarded, proud, vulnerable. The exhibition is open Saturday
and Sunday, 11am – 4pm, but you can visit this week, if you contact me
on 07745 219284
Coming up: Artist Angie Berkley (you may remember her photo-collages
from the May Day Open) has a solo show next week: it will be on until
25th July, and coincides nicely with Thanet Pride. Not to be missed by
all you Proud People!
27th July – 6pm The second meeting of Margate creatives. The first
meeting, of nearly 40 people, was at Marine Studios on 29th June and
it was agreed to hold regular meetings for a while, giving people the
chance to get to know each other. The Harbour Arm Gallery will host
this meeting, so if you missed out on the first but would like to come
along, please do!
30th July – Helder Clara opens his show ‘Displacement’, an
installation that explores the feelings of disconnectedness associated
with living one’s life in another country. On until Sunday 8th August.
