‘Landscapes of Identity’ is a captivating photography exhibition running from 31 August to 6 October. This exhibition aims to unravel the dialogue between land and identity, exploring how our environments shape us and how we, in turn, leave our mark upon them.
The artists featured—Carolyn Mendelsohn, Robert Darch, Jonathan Dayman, Benjamin Statham, and Andreea Chițan-Woodier—each present distinct lenses through which to examine the confluence of culture, identity, and the natural world.
From Mendelsohn’s poignant celebration of the multifaceted connection between women and nature to Darch’s incisive commentary on societal divides, this exhibition weaves a rich tapestry of visual narratives that resonate deeply with the complexities of contemporary issues.
Andreea Chițan-Woodier, the exhibition curator, explains, “This exhibition invites you on a journey of discovery, where each piece not only tells a story, but also ignites conversations that transcend boundaries.” Such reflections encourage viewers to delve into their own perceptions and biases, fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our environments.
As part of the exhibition, Ilkley Manor House will also host cyanotype workshops led by a local artist. More details to follow soon.
Ilkley Manor House is open on weekends from 11am to 4pm. Entry to the House is free unless stated otherwise. Please check the website and our social media before visiting for opening times. Booking is not required.
