I am stoked to announce a collaboration with the gifted Abhi Chinniah from Ramii Studio. Abhi is a portrait photographer, podcaster, and writer. Her debut photographic series Light Skin Dark Skin used portraits of Kiwi women to explore the journeys people have to take as a result of the colour of their skin. She started her podcast Her Skin in June 2020, connecting with minority groups around the world. Her ongoing work celebrates the diverse cultures existing in Aotearoa. Drawing from her lived experiences, Abhi uses portraiture to elevate marginalized voices, women of colour, migrant communities, explore colorism and everything in between.
Abhi’s brilliant photographic exhibition, ‘A Migrant’s Path’ will be presented at Depot Artspace, Devenport, from 12 August to 1 September. The opening is on Saturday 14 August 2-4pm and Artist on site: Sunday 22 August 11-3pm. I highly recommend coming along and experiencing in real-life size these powerful portraits. I will be running a collage workshop in conjunction with the exhibition. Using portraits from Abhi’s own personal collection, you will experiment with collage and have a stunning piece of art to take home with you.
All materials are provided.
There are limited spots available, so be quick!
