‘Seeking the Disabled Christ’ Exhibition – Newcastle Cathedral
This exhibition by Rachel Holdforth challenges traditional conventions of beauty, strength and perfection, particularly in a religious context.
A disabled, neurodivergent and queer spiritual director, printmaker and chaplain, Rachel provides a powerful critique of cultural and religious norms that have historically marginalised people with disabilities.
The artist’s collection of prints depict striking images of Christ sharing the complete range of human experiences, including vulnerability, difference and embodied experience.
