JUNE’S PRISM SOCIAL
Our next PRISM Social is on Tuesday 24th June at 6.30pm in 1000 Trades. Presenting will be local photographer and PRISM star Francesco Falciani.
Francesco's talk will report on the current state of 'we are all fucked up', a long-term project in Italy, where he is documenting a homeless shelter community, composed of individuals from highly marginalized backgrounds. These include former offenders, inmates in a semi-liberty regime and people living with severe mental health challenges. Working alongside social workers, these individuals form a complex, multi-racial network of support that blurs the line between ‘volunteer’ and ‘beneficiary.’ Through sustained engagement and ethnographic immersion, Francesco aims to capture the emotional landscape of this community and the powerful bonds that emerge in the shared act of care.
Can't wait. Attendance is free but donations welcome (as we are not for profit) Booking via this link.
On Tuesday July 15th we are excited to have Portrait of Britain exhibited lens based artist Anupama Gamanagari presenting. More details to follow. Booking here. @gamangari

We are fortunate to be able to access a space at 1000 Trades for our monthly Photography socials.
To date we have had presentations from Dan Burwood, Tracey Thorne, Morten Watkins, Oksana Bischin and Rebecca Orleans but we want to hear from you. You may be professional or amateur - no matter as we are always looking for people to talk about their emerging work, or a photobook or exhibition that they really like. In fact anything photographically that you would like to chat about.
