An Artist in Residence project by Gerwyn Davies
In this vibrant exhibition at Museum of Brisbane, leading contemporary artist Gerwyn Davies presents a series of striking photographic portraits developed in collaboration with trans and gender diverse young people from Open Doors Youth Service. Each vivid image features handcrafted sculptural costumes allowing their wearers to represent themselves in spectacular ways while simultaneously retaining their anonymity. Together, the works celebrate self-expression, resilience, and the power of chosen visibility. MoB’s Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC and Melt Festival.Presented by Museum of Brisbane
"At Museum of Brisbane, we believe in the power of art to amplify voices and create space for connection and conversation. This exhibition is a remarkable example of that. Gerwyn’s collaboration with Open Doors Youth Service has resulted in a body of work that is not only visually striking, but is also deeply moving in its celebration of identity, resilience and creative expression. We’re proud to present this project as part of our Artist in Residence program and thrilled to see it featured in this year’s Melt Festival."
