ANEW Way to Peel an Orange: Artist and Curator tour

Join exhibiting artist and designer Joe Hartley, as well as Matthew Pendergast (Head of Programmes, Castlefield Gallery) and Dominic Pillai (Curator of Social Engagement, Portraits of Recovery) for a tour of our exhibition ANEW Way to Peel an Orange.

ANEW Way to Peel an Orange is an ambitious exhibition of co-produced work developed during artist and designer Joe Hartley’s five-month residency with ANEW in Tameside (Greater Manchester, UK).
Hartley’s residency has combined the forces of ANEW’s experienced and creative approach to recovery from substance use, with Hartley’s diverse approach to making and the variety of talents possessed by members of the ANEW community. Rooted in collaboration and creative exchange, the residency has been an evolving journey of creating and reflecting through ceramics and furniture making, photographic experimentation, as well as outdoor and growing activities that include equine-assisted therapy and hatching RECOVERIST chickens as a nurturing metaphor for new life beginnings.
