The exhibition continues until the end of this week.

We would like to invite the community of South Leeds to our next exhibition opening
Tuesday 19th May | 5:30 – 8:30pm by Artist Lane Shipsey
Lane Shipsey is an Artist working primarily in the field of photography and collage. Her photographic mini-series ‘Constitutional’ was published as an Open Eye Story, a project of the Open Eye Gallery. (Liverpool, UK, 2022). Shipsey’s solo exhibition ‘Abhaile | Homing’ (Belfast, UK, 2023), is a series combining photographs of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland; it explored mixed feelings on the meaning of nationhood a century on from Irish independence. In 2026 Lane is working on a number of new projects, among them a solo exhibition HARD SHOULDER Motorway City at BasementArtsProject, UK (20 May-21 June).
Hard Shoulder Motorway City is an exhibition of photography conceived and created by Lane Shipsey and curated in collaboration with Bruce Davies of BasementArtsProject. The project has two strands; one exploring the urban landscapes of South Leeds and the other its inhabitants.
The exhibition explores the impact of the once ‘futuristic’ planning policies of the 1970’s, how they are experienced by the community of those who live and work in the area, and how those policies have been altered over the years.

This exhibition is part of the city wide festival of art Situation Leeds.
