Britain's What's On Event Guide
Picturing Freedom: Photography with Freedom Objects
Join photographers Yaqeen Amir, Anoosh Ariamehr and Open Eye Gallery to have a free portrait taken with an object or picture which, for you, represents freedom.
Families and children are invited to bring an object, drawing, or photo that feels connected to the idea of freedom; maybe something from home, a favourite toy, a family keepsake, or even just a symbol of something you dream about. Together with Anoosh, these personal items will become part of your portrait through light, projection, or collage, showing that freedom can live in our everyday lives as well as our memories and hopes.
What does freedom mean to you- Is it about reflecting on memories of peace, escaping to your local green space or being able to fly like a bird?
You are more than welcome to have a portrait alongside your object, or we can just photograph the object if you would like to remain anonymous. A copy of the image will be available to take home on the day.
A selection of images from the workshop will be displayed as part of a national photography exhibition celebrating the wider Our Freedom Then and Now programme.
The photography activity will start on the hour at:
1-2pm
2-3pm
3-4pm
We will also have a drop in photo-collage activity between 1-4pm where you can create intimate photo-collage booklets that reflect your personal ideas of freedom, taking inspiration from the poem Freedom Road by Simon Armitage, which you can view here.
