Solidarity & Love is a collection of work by Glasgow-based artist Jamie Crewe. The exhibition at Humber Street Gallery has been created alongside a sister show at Grand Union, Birmingham titled Love & Solidarity. These exhibitions, which were also previously open in these spaces at the beginning of this year, have lead to Crewe being selected to receive a Turner Prize Bursary - the new format for the Turner Prize in 2020, celebrating artists for their significant contributions to new developments in British contemporary art.

Taking inspiration from Radclyffe Hall’s novel The Well of Loneliness (1928), the exhibitions address the provocations of the book, which has had a lasting impact on generations of queer, lesbian, and transgender people.

Through a combination of video, sculpture and text, Crewe touches on themes of heartbreak, experiences of transphobia, LGBT solidarity and conflict, as well as exploring the legacy of the novel itself.

FAQs

How many tickets can I book?

Due to COVID-19, we've introduced capacity measures for the gallery space. You can book up to six tickets, depending on the amount of space left on your desired time slot. Please ensure you book a ticket for each member of your party.

Your ticket will be emailed to you before your visit.

Following current COVID-19 restrictions, please ensure that you are only booking tickets for and visiting the gallery spaces/café with people you live with or have formed a support bubble with.

How long can I stay in the exhibition?

Our time slots start on the hour, 11am-2pm, and last 45 minutes. This should allow enough time to experience the work, and for us to check over and clean any potential touch points before the next visit.

If you arrive late you will be admitted entry, but you will still need to leave at the stated time on your ticket. This will mean reduced time in the exhibition.

What should I do if I cannot attend/need to cancel?

You can cancel your booking via Eventbrite, alternatively please contact info@humberstreetgallery.co.uk or 01482 323 484 with your booking details.

Do I need to wear a face covering?

In accordance with UK government legislation introduced on 8 August 2020, face coverings are now mandatory in galleries. Therefore we cannot allow access without one, unless you are medically exempt.

What information will you hold about me and how will that information be used?

In compliance with NHS test and trace guidance, we will ask for the following when booking:

• Your name. If you are visiting in a group, then this will only be the name of the "lead member" of the group.
• A contact phone number for you or the "lead member" of your group.
• Your visit date/time slot.

All names and telephone numbers will be deleted after 21 days.

Note for visitors who require a companion:
