Who am I?
ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION
DATES & TIMES
22 December 2013 - 9 March 2014
Open Daily: 10am - 4pm
Who Am I? is a unique and playful exhibition which focuses on identity through the art of portraiture. How someone sits in a portrait, their expression, what they are wearing, who they are with and what they are surrounded by can tell us a lot about a person. With an inquisitive and insightful approach this exhibition is all about looking at portraits and asking “who are you” and “who am I?”
