For the first time in more than a decade, Leeds Art Gallery is showcasing artworks created by 90 artists from across the city in the Leeds Artists Show 2023. The new exhibition features drawing, painting, photography, performance, sculpture, textiles, film and video following an open call for submissions and celebrates the richness and diversity of the city’s art scene. It also introduces the next generation of artists with drawings and paintings by 21 young people from Leeds primary schools.
Hafifa Ahmed 's film looks at transforming the traditional to video, constructing and deconstructing image. Sacred geometry is incorporated in this piece as a bridge to the spiritual realm and surrounds the space with words of healing.
