Minor Tides brings together three young photographers — Lina Geoushy, Sarah Jade Sullivan and Farren van Wyk — who centre portraiture in work that interrogates family histories and cultural heritage.

Through staged and documentary photographic portraits, the artists examine collective identity, colonial legacies and processes of reclamation: Geoushy revisits pioneering women in Egypt’s past; Sullivan documents youth in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines navigating economic and colonial afterlives; van Wyk stages family portraits that rework violent colonial iconographies and affirm mixed identities. The exhibition traces subtle currents of change beneath visible histories.
