Documenting a world off balance

FEBRUARY 2026’S PRISM SOCIAL

Our February PRISM Social is on Tuesday 24th at 6.30pm in 1000 Trades. Presenting will be local photographer Damien Walmsley.

His talk is entitled

Stop Making Sense
Documenting a world off balance

Join Damien on his photographic journey of capturing human stories in an everchanging world. During his talk, Damien will cover two areas.

Remembering Covid: A photographic reflection on grief, memory, and how the public have memorialised the pandemic.

16 Acres Wood, Warwickshire: Documenting the impact and upheaval of the HS2 project on the countryside, revealing stories of place and change.

Damien will also share the beginnings of his photographic journey and the influences that shape his work today. As a long-standing blogger, Damien will show how he uses this skill to promote his photographic stories of a world off balance.


Take a look at his work on Instagram and his blog.

Can't wait. Attendance is free but donations welcome (as we are not for profit) Booking via this link.

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.
