SEEN IN THE WINDOWS, in collaboration with Platt Hall, exhibits photography and excerpts of articles that were commissioned for Issue One of SEEN. Featuring stories of connection and resilience, including the migration journey of Moss Side musician HMD as told to poet Isaiah Hull and a first person account of DJ Paulette's career within the context of unionising DJing, it also showcases new and unseen photography.
The exhibition was curated in partnership with Daniel Oyegade, a Manchester-based photographer and visual artist working primarily in fashion and portraiture. In his work, he's interested in exploring the intersection between realism and surrealism.
Platt Hall is an 18th century textile merchant's house and former costume museum managed by Manchester Art Gallery. Situated in Platt Fields Park, at the intersection of Rusholme, Moss Side and Fallowfield, it is currently in development as a new kind of creative community space that uses the historic site and its associated collections for social good. We are working together with local communities to make Platt Hall a vital and dynamic space at the heart of its local neighbourhood.
