‘Come As You Really Are’ isn’t your typical art exhibition—it’s a vibrant celebration of hobbies and passions from across the UK. Picture this: thousands of objects lovingly crafted, modified, or collected by folks just like you, set against the backdrop of a brand-new artist film that’ll leave you inspired and maybe a tad introspective.
Curated from a nationwide call-out, the exhibition showcases everything from intricate crafts to mind-bending artworks. You’ll see Patel’s own iconic pieces like ‘The Other Suit’ and ‘Fiesta Transformer’, alongside treasures from hobbyists all over the UK. It’s a mash-up of talent that proves creativity knows no bounds.
The exhibition also features a series of interactive events and workshops, offering participants the chance to engage directly with various art forms and creative practices. Highlights include natural henna tattoo sessions, miniature pottery making demonstrations, quilling workshops, superhero mask crafting, puppet making, Warhammer painting, and an inclusive cosplay workshop.
Whether you’re a seasoned art enthusiast or just curious about what makes people tick creatively, ‘Come As You Really Are’ promises an experience that’s equal parts eye-opening and downright fun.
