Making A Mark: Informed by Ink

  • Mariyah Shefa

An exhibition, investigateing the nuanced relationship between ink and its power. In collaboration with The Portico Library, Manchester School Of Art & Manchester Metropolitan University. Taking place at Saan1 Northern Quarters and The Grosvenor Gallery as part of the Manchester School Of Art Degree Show 2024 For the Degree Show, I was part of a collective and we co-curated the exhibition: Making a Mark: Informed by Ink. I worked as a curator, designer and technician for the project; I created graphic outposts; social-media posts, posters, and a zine. And I installed the vinyl lettering and exhibition text, alongside the mounting and framing of artworks.

Making A Mark started as a student-led collective from Manchester Metropolitan University, with backgrounds in Fine Arts, Art History & Curating. The collective co-curated an exhibition and a zine, which took inspiration from the Miscellaneous Literature collection, in The Portico Library.

Making a Mark: Informed by Ink, was created to provide a voice for artists and creativity by showing the power of ink; printmaking and tattoos.
