‘Hidden Ancestors’: A Solo Exhibition by Caroline Streatfield
Saturday 7 November – Wednesday 11 November, 10am – 4pm daily
Caroline Streatfield is a painter whose work investigates ideas around memory, history and identity. In her recent series of work, Caroline explores her own familial narratives and her maternal Eastern European heritage. This is Caroline’s first solo show and is a way of exploring how her ancestors were hidden from her until she herself visited her mother’s homeland in 1991 when she was 21. The show is curated by OHOS and Jelly Associate artist Heather McAteer as part of the curatorial swap project ‘Double Take’.

‘Touching From A Distance’: A Solo Exhibition by Heather McAteer
Friday 13 November – Sunday 15 November, 10am – 4pm daily
Heather McAteer was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and is now based in Reading. Her practice explores social and cultural histories, and in particular issues of representation of identity, difference and dislocation. The work is sited in personal experience, particularly in relation to her formative years growing up in Northern Ireland and is a mediation on youth, memory and morality. This exhibition covers her recent work, including a series of drawings made during her Jelly/ACE funded ‘At Home’ artist residency as well as work made during lockdown. The show is curated by OHOS studio artist Caroline Streatfield as part of the curatorial swap project ‘Double Take’.
