Notes to Editor

She brings a new perspective and life to these objects through experimenting, constructing and transforming materials. For Reshaping the Past, Harrison will exhibit a series of prints and drawings that aim to fix and hold onto past memories. The artist recently co-curated and exhibited in Evocation at Elevator Studios and Avenue HQ. She has also previously exhibited at Saul Hay Gallery in Manchester, Exchange Place Studios in Sheffield and The Crypt Gallery in London. Harrison graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Liverpool Community College and is a studio member at Arena Studios in Liverpool.
SUFEA MOHAMAD NOOR is an artist-curator interested in social history and materiality. Her practice uses words, textiles and food to tell untold stories, explore personal memories and bring people together. She will be exhibiting a series of sculptures for Reshaping the Past. The artist was recently commissioned for the Lunar New Year celebrations at FACT and the Eurovision public programme. She was also a recipient of the Liverpool Biennial x Sevenstore bursary. Mohamad Noor graduated from University of Leeds with a masters degree in Art Gallery and Museum Studies. She is a studio member at The Royal Standard in Liverpool.
