The Sentinels Project is an installation exhibition made up of large format portraits and video to be held at East Hotel until May 28th. The Project is an ongoing series looking at public power, female strength and the ability of communities to engage with evil in their midst.
Traditionally shown illegally pasted up under bridges and down dark alleyways the series evolved from work that artist Hamish Ta-mé was doing with a guerrilla Artists Run Initiative that he founded in 2005.
The large-scale show is running parallel to Ta-mé’s work on show at the National Portrait Gallery in the 2014 National Photographic Portrait Prize.
Hamish Ta-mé is a regional artist working predominantly within photomedia. This is his third inclusion in the prestigious National Photographic Portrait Prize. His image on show at the National Portrait Gallery is from the Sentinels Project and will be shown alongside a video piece and amongst 60x other images and video sequences from the Sentinels Project.
