NEW EXHIBITION: ASSIGNMENTS 23
9 JUNE - 22 JULY
Ffotogallery is pleased to present - for the first time in Wales - Assignments 23, the British Press Photographers’ Association’s annual exhibition celebrating the best of press photography from its members.
This year’s exhibition covers stories from July 2021 through to the Spring of 2023 and features everything from sports and entertainment to politics and protests with royals, celebrities, and global events as seen through the eyes of the association’s photographers.
We hope you can join us from 6pm on Thursday 8th June for the exhibition preview, where we will also be joined by multi-award winning photographer and filmmaker Joann Randles who will be sharing a presentation of her work from 7.45pm. Free admission - open to all. Refreshments provided.
INSTAGRAM TAKEOVER
Head over to our Instagram account to see what Samuel Patrick Hunter is up to, the latest in a series of artist takeovers. Samuel is a photographer, visual artist, and bookmaker from the West Midlands. He seeks to explore both self and collective identity within the world around us. Through engaging with those on the fringes of society, he aims to provide an insight into the unknown and use images as making sense of his own mind, and the minds of others.
