About this event
Join Grand Union’s Programme Director Kim McAleese and Humber Street Gallery’s Senior Curator John Heffernan for a tour of Love & Solidarity, an exhibition by artist Jamie Crewe. The exhibition has been co-commissioned alongside a sister show at Humber Street Gallery, Hull titled Solidarity & Love.
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.
