Castlefield Gallery presents ANEW Way to Peel an Orange, an exhibition co-produced with designer Joe Hartley and the ANEW recovery community, following Hartley’s five-month residency with ANEW in Tameside.

Rooted in care, collaboration and creativity, the project spans ceramics, photography and outdoor activities, like equine-assisted therapy to hatching RECOVERIST chickens as a metaphor for new beginnings.

ANEW Way to Peel an Orange is presented as part of the CHAORDIC programme by Portraits of Recovery and invites viewers to consider recovery as a collective, creative journey.
