Britain's What's On Event Guide
Field Notes: Free Exhibition
Rediscover Barrow’s most treasured photography Archive in a fusion of sculpture, projection, photography and sound. Barrow-based charity Signal Film and Media brings an exciting free programme of arts and heritage events and activities to the community this August, thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. As part of Signal Film and Media’s Sankey: Lives Through the Lens project, a specially commissioned Sankey-inspired exhibition by artist Niki Colclough and local young participants will launch on Thursday 8th of August at 6pm. The exhibition, Field Notes, will run until 9th - 31st August 2024, Wednesdays - Saturdays, 11am-5pm.
Signal Film and Media were thrilled to launch the full digitised collection, The Sankey Photography Archive, online for the first time in September 2023. Sankey: Lives Through the Lens began earlier this year with workshops and masterclasses engaging participants from Furness Refugee Support, Furness Multicultural Forum and Mind with the Sankey Photography Archive.
Working with the archive and a group of local youth participants, Manchester-based Artist Niki Colclough will exhibit a series of new Sankey-inspired works in the exhibition. Viewers will experience sculpture, sound, projection and collage. There will also be a selection of Sankey Photographs on display and work from adult participants created earlier this year.
