Hajra Waheed @ The Mosaic Rooms

The exhibition, Sea Change – Chapter 1: Character 1, In the Rough features a series of works that reveal the journey of an individual on a quest to find quartz crystals buried amongst rock. The viewer wanders through the works in the exhibition, looking at the details of this character’s field notes, cut photographs, co-ordinates of unknown places, painted and drawn geographies of sea and geology. The viewer is left questioning whether the story and these materials are autobiography or fiction, or lie somewhere in between. In turn Hajra Waheed is drawing us to a wider questioning of the acceptance of presented information as truth, in the context of media, politics and historical representations.
