Sutemos Photography Exhibition: ‘Seen / Unseen’

15th May 2024

On Wednesday 5th June, the CRAIC Theatre in Dungannon will see our youth engagement project Sutemos mark the end of a great year of dance with a sharing of work for friends and family and the grand opening of a photography exhibition called ‘Seen / Unseen’.

The group of young people, along with dance artist Christine O’Neill, have been exploring through dance the important topic of what we see on the outside compared to what we don’t see going on in the inside.   Their ideas originated from experiencing first hand that social media can dramatically affect how we perceive the world and crucially how by portraying a bright and vibrant online appearance often we don’t see the real and dark lives behind the screen.

Together with the vast technical support and creative ideas of Jim Corr, a professional photographer who can take much credit for capturing many of DU Dance performances and events, Sutemos hope that the exhibition shows how even in the “unseen”  it is still possible to work together in the darkness.

After the opening in June, the exhibition will go on display in two other Dungannon venues over the next year.

Thank you to supporters Dungannon Youth Resource Centre and funders Children in Need.
