FIRST THEY IGNORE YOU

Sheila Chakravarti

9 March – 20 April

Sheila Chakravarti is a socially engaged photographer, long time educator, and activist. Her current work centres around her own experiences - and that of other people of colour - of racism in Northern Ireland.

Chakravarti uses photography as a tool to promote change in her community. By exploring the universal experiences of people who have come to settle here, the artist hopes to encourage public engagement and awareness of the many complex issues involved. This exhibition was produced and curated by Belfast Exposed and we are delighted to present it in Portstewart.
