Networking event 

28th May 2022; 1pm - 4pm 

Are you feeling a bit disconnected from the photography community post lockdown? 

This is a relaxed opportunity to reconnect with the photo community and meet other artists working within the region. We would also like to take this opportunity to (re-) introduce ourselves to you and meet you in real life. You will hear from the director of Redeye, Paul Herrmann, as well as a couple of other photographers in a short presentation. Redeye's programme co-ordinator Rebecca Burns will be there too. 

This event welcomes you to join the discussion about commissioning socially engaged projects from both the photographer's and commissioner's point of view. Speakers Gwen Riley Jones and Rosie Naylor talk about their commissioning experience; following that will be an open conversation for all to take part in. 

Feeling inspired during the lockdown, the influential British artist John Stezaker got started on a new body of work, one which is now on show at The Approach in London until the 26th March. Stezaker claims to have “rediscovered the pleasures of drawing” in these works. We encourage you to see the exhibition, Double Shadow, if you can but don't worry if not, there will still be lots to unpack.
