Who do you take me for? is an exploration of photo-based work by British and Australian practitioners whose work deals with issues of their 'otherness' as perceived by the dominant culture in which they live. The primary theme of this exhibition is that of marginalisation as it arises from perceptions of cultural identity. However, important sub-themes are marginalisation of identity for reasons of gender, sexuality and class. These aspects of identity have become increasingly intertwined and cannot be treated as individual, hermetically separate concepts.
