The Tears of Things – an exhibition by Café Morte
This was the first of a growing collection of broken objects which were gathered to exhibit at Newlyn Art Gallery. As part of The Exchange Christmas Makers Market, Café Morte were invited to create an exhibition alongside the makers. The exhibition took place of the 11th & 12th December 2016 with a discussion led by the Café Morte research group.
The stall was set up to generate discussion around the emotional value and its associations of the broken object. Many objects were displayed with a story attached, others were used for the viewer to create and attach a narrative to.
Over the weekend, the collection grew and visitors shared their stories and broken objects. This will lead into a further exhibition in February 2017 at The Exchange Gallery.
