SUMMARY:I'll Tell You Later: BSL Happy Snappers and Emma Case
DESCRIPTION:NOW EXTENDED TO 1ST NOVEMBER \nAn inspiring exhibition showcasing the work of the Happy Snappers\, a Wirral-based photography group made up of both Deaf and BSL users.  \nI’ll Tell You Later explores the relationship between the Deaf experience and the hearing world. It sheds light on the barriers D/deaf individuals face\, while showing the Happy Snappers as a powerful example of how inclusive\, supportive communities can break down these obstacles. Through their work\, the group highlights the importance of creating a more inclusive society that benefits everyone. \nThis exhibition is an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation through the lens of photography. \nHappy Snappers are a group of friends who are both Deaf and BSL users. They get together and enjoy life outside and explore some of the Wirral’s hidden locations and beautiful scenery\, and capture these locations on camera. They are not a professional photography group but share the same love of meeting people\, socialising and having fun.  \nEmma Case is a socially engaged photographer working with local communities focusing on projects that often explore home\, identity\, memory and place. Emma is interested in building real relationships over time and working collectively\, often looking at social issues and their impact but through the lens of changing the narrative through storytelling. Emma is fluent in British Sign Language and has worked with the Deaf community for over 20 years; from support worker with SignHealth to Actress with Deafinitely Theatre. Emma is extremely passionate about accessibility for Deaf audiences and artists within cultural spaces. \nI’ll Tell You Later is part of Photo Here\, a programme of socially engaged photographic residencies and exhibitions commissioned by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority as part of this year’s Cultural Events Programme. Developed by Open Eye Gallery in collaboration with each of six local authorities: Halton\, Knowsley\, Liverpool\, Sefton\, St Helens and Wirral.

SUMMARY:Tabitha Jussa: Match Day
DESCRIPTION:To continue the legacy of Going To The Match On Tour\, we are delighted to exhibit a selection of works from the photographic series Match Day\, by Tabitha Jussa. \nMatch Day documents the journeys of fans around the home fixtures of Liverpool FC\, Everton FC and Tranmere Rovers. Jussa’s interest is in capturing the ritualistic behaviour of large crowds\, exploring the habitual and sometimes essential narratives and relationships that exist between people and place. \nAlthough Jussa started out as a documentary photographer\, her interest in fusing together traditional and contemporary approaches to photography has brought about her own distinctive style. An observer’s distance has been adopted\, taking in the scene as a whole\, resulting in all-encompassing large-scale landscapes. \nMatch Day will be exhibited in Gallery 4\, taking the place of works by LS Lowry which had been on loan through Going To The Match On Tour. The works from our own collections will remain in place\, inviting new connections between subjects and themes.

SUMMARY:North Wales Society of Fine Art

Its purpose was to encourage the promotion of botanical artwork across North Wales and into the North West of England.

The subject matter varies from botanical\, landscape\, portraiture\, still-life and wildlife. Media used include oil\, acrylic\, and watercolour paints\, ink\, pencil and pastels\, textile artwork and sculpture. \nThis exhibition will showcase recent work by members of the society. \nMeet The Artists: On Saturday 29th June the Society will be holding a Meet & Greet in the gallery. Drop in 1-3pm to meet the artists and learn more about their work. \n \nTake the work home! Many of the works included in the Williamson Open 2024 – including those by the guest judges – are for sale.
