Fateme

2022

Charcoal on paper.

The Centenarian Portrait Project by Teenagers was a national community project organised by Embraced Inc. which came to Western Australia in 2022. Cait Dowley had the fortune of being paired with Fateme Hamidi for this months-long project in which teenage artists were to create a portrait of a centenarian. The conversations, the knowledge, the cups of tea, and ultimately the connections that were shared between Fateme and Cait were highly valued by the artist.

Cait Dowley's portrait of Fateme was shown in the 100: A celebration of Western Australia's super seniors exhibition at the Wilkinson Gallery, Claremont Showgrounds from December 13th to December 18th, 2022. Cait Dowley presented a speech at the celebratory event on 17th December.

It was then selected to be exhibited in the ACT in 100 Canberra: The National Exhibition at the Generator Gallery, Belconnen Arts Centre from May 19th to July 2nd 2023.
