To Be Seen is the UK’s first major museum exhibition of work by American artist Catherine Opie. Visitors are invited to discover powerful photographic portraits of Opie’s mentors and collaborators, queer communities, children, surfers, high school footballers, and political crowds. The exhibition includes nearly 80 portraits by Opie, shown alongside a selection of portraits from Scotland’s national collection. Journeying through over three decades of Opie’s work, the exhibition questions representations of home, intimacy, and family, exploring politics, identity, and power structures.
In partnership with the National Portrait Gallery.
