Grab your camera or phone and explore your surrounding environment!

In response to Void’s current exhibition, Re_sett_ing_s, by Jaki Irvine and Locky Morris, we would like to challenge you, as the public, to experiment with Jaki and Locky’s casual yet confronting photographic and video process and style, within your own context.

All you have to do is get outside, explore, photograph/film your own surrounding environment and upload it to social media using the hashtag #My_re_sett_ing_s.

At the end of the exhibition, a prize winner for the best photograph or video will be selected.

Our drawing booklets offer an opportunity to explore Shezad Dawood’s exhibition in a fun and experimental way during your visit to the gallery. They encourage the user to think about the artworks on a deeper level as they self-direct around the gallery, while completing a variety of different drawing exercises inspired by the exhibition.

These booklets are free, suitable for all ages, and available at the front desk throughout the whole duration of the exhibition.

Please note, younger children may need help from a parent when reading the drawing prompts but will still be able to engage in this activity.
