Artist Profile: Jana Liggett-Wright

Jana Liggett-Wright is a photographer and community artist who is fascinated by the conceptual, approaching her subject matter as questions and seeking to present some type of truth in her images. Working almost exclusively in analogue photography, Jana strives for an experimental approach when creating images and working on projects. She also has a passion for documentary photography, capturing images that are focused on her personal experiences with a highly nostalgic feel. Outside of her studies Jana also works as a freelance photographer and runs her own photography club for children in Levenshulme. 

Artist Profile: Lucie Crewdson

Lucie Crewdson is a photographer that works on the boundaries of art and fashion whilst creating images that explore aspects of anxiety and escapism. Working freelance alongside her studies she is currently building an editorial and commercial portfolio. Documentary photography is a style Lucie also likes to experiment with, capturing the everyday but through a more imaginative and dream like vision.

The Venue: KRAAK Gallery

The venue for our exhibition is the amazing Kraak Gallery! 

"Housed in the remains of a former derelict textile cutting room in Stevenson Square, KRAAK Gallery crept onto the creative scene in 2009 and quickly established a reputation as a connective hub for innovative visual and performance artists. KRAAK Gallery was founded by local artists to create an inclusive, accessible and sustainable exhibition space that is dedicated to the ideals of collaboration and open expression. Since then, KRAAK has emerged as a humble but forceful player in the Manchester underground arts scene.

KRAAK is committed to artist-led exhibitions where individual curators and groups of artists plan and produce the installation process, infusing their own personalities into the space. Our central location and affordable rates have enabled a fresh and dynamic arts platform to flourish within our gallery walls, and has allowed KRAAK to tap into both established and emerging creative talent."
