Exhibitions
Porcelain Souls and Keepers of the Ocean
The Bristol Photo Festival returns to Centrespace Gallery to present Inuuteq Storch’s first solo exhibition in the UK.
Private View: Saturday 19th October 6 pm - 8 pm
The Bristol Photo Festival, an international photography festival shaped by the movements of the city; returns to Centrespace Gallery.
For his first solo exhibition in the UK, Inuuteq Storch will present two bodies of work. Firstly, Porcelain Souls, a collection of photographs and letters created by his parents during a period of geographic separation; his father in Sisimiut, Greenland, and mother in Aarhus, Denmark. And secondly, Keepers of the Ocean, a delicate and diaristic portrait of Sisimiut, Storch’s hometown. Through his work, Storch aims to present a living, breathing history of Greenland, as told through the eyes of Greenland’s people, rather than defined by others.
