Newlyn Society of Artists Spring Show ‘Longya’: exploring an uncommon place.
Longya is the Cornish word for ‘belong’. Cornwall is a place of strong and unique identity. Whether born of its soil, naturalised to call it home, or deeply connected to the area from elsewhere, the parameters of attachment are under constant debate. But what is it to be an artist working in Cornwall today, or one whose work is inspired by the region? This exhibition explores the nuanced affinities that connect artists with this uncommon place. Our guest curator is Dr Matt Retallick from Manchester University.
