About
There Has to Be Somewhere presents sculptural, textile, ceramic, and film works by artists Rachael House, Lucy Hutchinson, and Emelia Kerr Beale. Actively seeking to share their personal experiences and collective histories, these individual works challenge societal norms of belonging. Our artists explore themes of well-being, self-acceptance, self-advocacy and support, that spark conversations around disability, queer identity, and feminist issues.
The exhibition title is a hopeful yet urgent message towards somewhere we can take comfort and make our own; sanctuary is not primarily a place but something that can be lived. There Has To Be Somewhere is a quiet space for contemplation and discussion. Through displays of craft, the exhibition looks at the past and present to correct misconceptions, rewrite narratives, and imagine desirable futures. The works’ collective reference to the natural world reminds us of the healing power of nature which can recentre us in times of discomfort.
