This is Us - Exhibition, Pallant House Gallery
‘This is Us’ is a celebration of the creative lives of the members of Pallant House Gallery’s Community Programme. This series of photographs and accompanying audio were commissioned to celebrate 20 years of Pallant House Gallery’s Community Programme in 2022.
Each of the photographs capture a moment on a personal journey and celebrate the people involved and their creative lives.
Kate is a proud to have been a member of the Community Programme for over 15 years. It has played a significant role in her life and well-being.
Pallant House Gallery’s Community Programme empowers people to focus on being an artist, creating art, and sharing this interest, rather than being defined by a disability or support need.
“It’s holistic medication. So, it’s not just about taking the pills, it’s about having a space where culturally, it can inspire you, it can uplift you. It gives you visually something beautiful to look at or something for my intellect to grab on to and concentrate on rather than actually how I’m feeling.” Kate
“You know, I’ve got some lovely memories. And it’s always interesting. And if nothing else, even if you sit there and don’t produce anything, for however long you’re here, you’re always going to have a chat with someone.” Mark
