Collective Matters
Collective Matters celebrates and reflects upon a series of socially engaged projects developed over the past two to three years across the North West region. Over this time, artists and communities have come together to explore how photography can be used as a tool for self-expression, reflection and resilience in what is becoming an ever increasingly isolated world. What has come from these various collaborations is a testament to the fact that with creativity comes purpose, belonging and a space to create new conversations about the people and places around us.
Gallery 1 presents work by local photography collective, Clickmoor, based in MyClubmoor. The group were supported by artists Emma Case and Katherine Monaghan to develop their own photographic skills and identity. The work offers a glimpse into each member鈥檚 journey through this process, both practically and emotionally.
Also on display in Gallery 1 is the project Haven, a collaboration by photographer Stephanie Wynne and Wirral Women, who have produced work relating to themes of safety, focusing on the places that sustain us during difficult and isolated times. The work is intentionally three dimensional and tactile, as a direct response to the virtual 2D spaces we have spent much of the past two years within.
Gallery 2 showcases work by recent graduates from our joint MA in Socially Engaged Photography with the University of Salford. Featured graduates are Gerard Francis, Rachel Mason, L膩sma Poi拧a and her collective Snappy Valley, and Andy Yates. These four photographers鈥� works reflect the diversity of practice coming from the next generation of socially engaged practitioners.
