About the Exhibition
An Obscure Camera plays with the long standing fascination with Camera Obscura that has captured audience imagination from Victorian times to present day.

Visit the installation to not only ‘embody the AI’ for yourself, but to confront, first-hand, the associated ethical and social implications of your choices/actions.

Don’t miss this final week of Shh… the extraordinary exhibition of works across sculpture, drawing, performance and installation by Abigail Norris and Isobel Smith at the Marine Workshops in Newhaven.

The exhibition is open and free to visit Thursday - Saturday 10 - 4pm, and Sunday 10 - 11am.

The exhibition culminates in an event with Hettie Judah in conversation with Abigail, Isobel, Helen Turner and Suzanne O’Haire this Sunday 31st May 12-2pm.
Hettie will also introduce her latest book - How to Enter the Art World - followed by a Q&A.

Tickets are £5 and available via the link in the Shh… artists bio and at the Newhaven Enterprise Zone website Marine Workshops pages.

Hettie Judah is a writer, and curator of the acclaimed exhibition Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood. The author of numerous books on art, she is well known as a critic, columnist, broadcaster and advocate for artists’ rights. How to Enter the Art World is a grown-up guide for any artist whose life is complicated, demanding and, well, human. Frank, funny and occasionally forthright, this is your friend on the path (back) into the art world.

See you on the riverside.
