A new exhibition at Waterside for Pride in Trafford, Fri 20 May - Sat 30 July

An ongoing series of portraits of transgender and non-binary people.

Challenging perceptions about gender construction and performance, Your Own Light finds a tender beauty in the vulnerability and the resilience of its subjects. An emotive and authentic exhibition filled with heart and empathy, it sheds a vital and timely spotlight on one of society’s more marginalized groups – a key component demonstrated throughout all of Crewe’s work as an artist compelled to capture the portraits of people who desire transformation and explore the stories of those who grow.

Described as "highly rated, sincere, poignant and classical..." (Magnum) and "...a terrific body of work filled with heart and empathy" by LensCulture, her work was shortlisted for the prestigious BJP Portrait of Britain award in 2017, which she won in 2019 with “Grace.”

The exhibition is part of a year-long photography programme at Waterside, supported by Arts Council England and curated by Castlefield Gallery in partnership with Creative Industries Trafford.

A preview event for the exhibition will be held on Thu 19 May, 17:30 - 19:00. This will be a free, drop in event (subject to capacity).
