UNSEEN | UNMASKED

Explore concepts of identity, perception and neurodivergence through this dual exhibition.

Unseen | Unmasked is a powerful photographic exhibition by Harris (The1Harris), sharing experiences of Neurodivergence, including his own, in order to unmask identity and perception. Through these portraits, the exhibition reveals what is usually hidden, challenging assumptions about identity and perception. It forms part of You & Us, a touring triptych by Cathy Waller Company examining themes of invisibility through photography, dance and film.

South London based documentary and portrait photographer Harris started young – capturing life’s moments with a haunting beauty. In his 20s, his street photography earned him recognition and a partnership with Nikon UK. Currently, he is the commissioned artist for Bryen & Langley x Photofusion documenting their redevelopment and relocation to Beehive Place, Brixton. In addition, he is immersed in a deeply personal project titled ‘Chasing Intimacy’, challenging societal norms regarding non-sexual intimacy among Afro-Caribbean men and pursuing a long-form project exploring grief work, isolation and the forging of communities of grief.

Commissioned by Cathy Waller Company as part of their current project ‘Us’, the exhibition sits alongside a groundbreaking dance film ‘You are also Us’ and a powerful new dance performance, ‘You and Us’.

Unseen | Unmasked is a Cathy Waller Company commissioned project supported by Arts Council England and Disability Arts Online.
