Thursday’s Child presents its latest exhibition ‘Holding Space’
Thursday’s Child presents Holding Space, a new group exhibition bringing together works by five rising photographers to explore ideas connected to frameworks of support—global and local.
Holding Space brings together five rising photographers, selected by a panel of experts, whose projects explore frameworks of support — the networks that bind us and foster resilience and connection.
Through their lenses, the show celebrates intimate moments of care, solidarity, joy, and shared strength within communities. From Cusco, Peru to Tamil Nadu, India to Leeds, UK and beyond, each artist’s body of work offers a loving look at how these often overlooked systems of support sustain and uplift us; a reminder that resilience is rarely an individual endeavour, but rather a collective one, nurtured by the spaces we hold for one another.

Kirk Lisaj is a photographer and image-maker based between Montreal and Toronto who finds inspiration in the visual rhythms of nature, nightlife and queerness. His exhibiting photographs offer a glimpse into the artist’s experiences on the dance floor as a queer person in the 21st century.
