Pride Project
(2023) Pride Piazza Gallery
'Pride Project' is a compelling art exhibition that strikes a balance between storytelling and artistry from photographer Lauren Crooke. The cinematic images are a communal narrative, and profound exploration of the LGBTQIA+ community's experiences and often untold stories of adversity.
Each piece inspired by real-life accounts submitted by members of the community which Crooke has carefully translated into visual form, using lighting and special effects equipment to direct dramatic scenes that evoke significant narrative and atmosphere. Her works extends beyond documentation; a photographer with an eye for narratives that resonate and connect, 'Pride Project' encourages an intimate dialogue with the viewer, turning spectators into participants.
Visitors to the exhibition will find a space where empathy and art converge. Lauren's imagery, while deeply personal, capture universal themes of identity, struggle, and endurance. They are a tribute to the strength of the community, presented with honesty and aesthetic sensitivity.
'Pride Project' brings to light the experiences of the local LGBTQIA+ community and offers an opportunity to engage with our stories through the empathetic eye of Lauren Crooke. The exhibition is a testament to the power of photography as a medium for social awareness and connection.
