Sarah Fisher, Executive Director at Open Eye Gallery, said: Open Eye Gallery is interested in developing career opportunities for photographers from diverse backgrounds and bringing forward the individual voices of the next generation of artists. Thatโs the focus of these courses and this show. Both exhibitions have been through the process of thinking about what the students want to say as photographers. They are treated exactly the same as we would treat any international artist: itโs not about where they are in their careers, itโs about these individual voices and the stories they tell.
This exhibition is a continued celebration of Open Eye Galleryโs ongoing relationship with Hugh Baird College and UCEN Manchester. We are delighted to be supporting new photographic talent at the beginning of their artistic careers.
