F**K LOSS KISS: exhibition of documentary photographs by Mark Chew

Photographed over a five-year period in Urban Slums and Refugee Camps of East Africa, Mark Chew's newest solo exhibition, F * * K LOSS KISS records the lives of mostly women and children in an attempt to reveal the complexity and diversity of existence in difficult circumstances.

"Returning to the land of my birth, I feel a connection that goes beyond a working relationship" says Chew.

The free exhibition opens Tuesday 1st April at fortyfivedownstairs, and runs until 24th April. There will be a public Q&A event, where Mark will talk in detail about the works and how each of the images came about, in conversation with Lisa Button, CEO, Community Refugee Australia.

Please join us at fortyfivedownstairs on Saturday April 5th from 2-3.30pm for this not-to-be-missed event. All works are for sale.

If you'd like to attend the official opening event, with Abeny Mayol speaking about her experience as a South Sudanese refugee; and Bren Arkinstall, CEO of the Edmund Rice Foundation talking about his work in Urban Slums. please contact Mark directly via his website. Or email us at info@cherryhands.com

The exhibition will be supported with the screening of a film titled “Living Room” by Alecia and Archie. aliciaandarchie.com
