“From Darkness to Light” Exhibition
Fountain House Gallery
This event has ended.
Fountain Gallery representing artists with mental illness, announces the upcoming exhibition From Darkness to Light. This show spotlights photographs by Broken Light Collective, the foremost online photography gallery for people affected by mental illness. From Darkness to Light is presented through the Fountain Gallery Visiting Artists Program and is curated by Danielle Hark.
“The photographic mélange of images in this show represents a variety of mental states as well as photographic genres including self-portrait, nature, abstract, street photography and more,” said Hark, founder of Broken Light Collective. “In these images we observe dark and light, suffering and hope. We see things that are broken or abandoned, but we also find life emerging from the rubble. We see people in pain as well as those finding light at the end of the tunnel. As an artist with mental illness and a mental health advocate, I am honored to be curating this exhibit for Fountain Gallery.”
From Darkness to Light represents a cross section of the Broken Light Collective online gallery in terms of style, location, age, and mental health and developmental challenges. The 36 photographers from around the globe who are featured in the show have been affected by conditions including depression and anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, addiction, and autism.
