This Kind Of Light

A group exhibition of stories written in Photography, exploring the complexities of queer life, community and self discovery with artists from Africa and Brighton.

The Zimbabwean author  Yvonne Vera spoke in interviews of the complex relationship she had with her craft. Her words could as easily have been about photography, and inform the selection of images in the exhibition. 

 

"For me writing is light, a radiance that captures everything in a fine profile. This light searches and illuminates, it is a safe place from which to uncover the emotional havoc of our experience. Light is a bright warmth which heals. Writing can be this kind of light...Within it I do not hide. I travel bravely beyond that light, into the shadows that this light creates, and in that darkness it is also possible to be free." Yvonne Vera
