Ards Arts Centre is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibitions: REFRAMING & CONNECTING, a group exhibition by Brain Injury Matters NI and Rachel Fitzpatrick. The exhibition will run from Thursday 30 April to Saturday 23 May. Led by artist, researcher and designer Rachel Fitzpatrick, REFRAMING & CONNECTING features a new site‑specific installation co‑created with Brain Injury Matters NI. Drawing on Fitzpatrick’s practice at the intersection of creative health, craft and museums, and her lived experience of acquired brain injury, the work builds on past collaborations exhibited at Roe Valley Arts Centre in Limavady, Trinity College Dublin and Penn State University, USA.
Audiences can expect an immersive installation made from intricate paper crafts, exploring journeys of rehabilitation, reconnection and identity, and revealing often‑unseen narratives of life after acquired brain injury through collaborative making and storytelling.
