Our Work
Wewiora and Booth are a producer team, specialising in exhibition production and touring, artist development and community engagement.
Liz Wewiora and Charlie Booth combine years of practical experience across the cultural sector to support artists and photographers to realise creative projects.
Wewiora and Booth evolved from the successful producer agency, Wewiora Projects, initiated by Liz and her sister Helen Wewiora in 2014. Later they were joined by Charlie as an assistant Curator, delivering Tall Tales, a national touring exhibition across Rochdale, London and Glasgow.
Throughout all aspects of our practice, collaboration and partnerships are at the heart of what we do.
We enjoy working with artists and photographers who have a strong artistic vision and focus on social change. We actively seek out artists who:
- wish to collaborate with us to increase the ambition and reach of their project by combining skills, knowledge and professional networks.
- Artists who consider and invite the active role of audiences within their work.
We offer practical expertise to artists in the areas of public funding, exhibition production, partnership working and community engagement.
Wewiora and Booth welcome partnerships with organisations to deliver artistic project management, curation, volunteer recruitment, conference and live events production.
We are also available for consultancy and training within subjects such as socially engaged practice, curation, public funding and effective project evaluation.
