Michaela Yearwood-Dan (b 1994 London) endeavours to build spaces of community, abundance, and joy, through a multifaceted practice encompassing large scale paintings, works on paper, ceramics, and site-specific mural and sound installations.For her first UK institutional museum exhibition, the artist presents a major new commission that transforms the gallery into a layered installation shaped by painting, ceramics and sound.The exhibition, formed entirely of new work, centres on a series of 14 paintings and six ceramic vessels presented within a multidimensional installation designed by the artist and accompanied by a bespoke musical score by composer Alex Gruz.📅 Thursday 18 June 2026⏰ 6pm - 6:30pm📍the Whitworth (meet at the entrance to the exhibition)🎟️ Book your free tickets now🌟Donations help us to present world-class events and exhibitions for free.
