YOUR OWN LIGHT, Allie Crewe.
Lauriston Gallery, 21 May 22 - 30 Jul 22
Your Own Light features a series of striking portraits of trans and non-binary people that challenge perceptions about gender construction and performance.
Crewe's work finds a tender beauty in the vulnerability and the resilience of its subjects and is described by Magnum - the internationally acclaimed photography cooperative - as "highly rated, sincere, poignant and classical". This emotive and authentic exhibition is filled with heart and empathy.
The exhibition sheds a vital and timely spotlight on one of society's more marginalised groups - a key component demonstrated throughout all of Crewe's work. As an artist, Crewe is compelled to capture the portraits of people who desire transformation and explore the stories of those who grow.
