Event Short Description

The Socially Engaged Art Salon & the BPOC Photographers Collective present their group exhibition.

Event Information

The relationship between the English countryside and Black and People of Colour (BPOC) communities is evolving, particularly through the lens of photography. Historically, the English countryside has often been depicted as an overwhelmingly white, rural, and exclusive space. For many BPOC communities, the countryside may still feel inaccessible due to historical and cultural exclusion but also to other socio-economic factors, as depicted in various research. As such, they are deprived of the physical, mental and social benefits that walking, hiking and exploring the countryside have.

In this project, they are trying to reclaim and reimagine these spaces and expand their notions of belonging. They believe in the power of socially engaged photographic practices to create more inclusive and diverse spaces, especially in the countryside.
