Responsibilities

The art installation DIS-CON-NEC-TED originated from the need to create a space for underrepresented voices in our community.

Our aim – to give a platform to those who find themselves caught between different ways of life. This gives them a nuanced and unconventional take on the world, as they don’t prescribe to the definitions and labels that are given to them.

The show originally set for April 2020 had its them made even more poignant by the events of the year. Re-organised for later in the following year. As Art Director and contributor to the show I had many hats to wear, having to source, contact and organise the artists, securing a venue, procuring funding, marketing, event and website design, as well as running multiple launch and sponsor events.

After a successful launch and sponsor event, the show garnered a decent amount of visitors with regular foot traffic as well as being featured in local independent cultural publications. Sponsors also approached for involvement of future iterations of the show.
