People are Cities and Cities are People

Artists Rider Shafique and Georgia Williams have been working with local people to explore and curate over 50 years of Carnival photographs, creating a unique and interactive photography exhibition. Visitors will have the opportunity to help tell the stories and recover the histories of people in the photos. Also showing will be the latest film in the ‘Gloucester Firsts’  series “The First Interracial Marriage”, created by Rider Shafique with Tarsier Creative.

Attendance is free and no need to book, but please call at least an hour ahead of your visit so that we can ensure someone will be there to greet you. Group bookings (10+) are welcome but please call to arrange at least 2hrs in advance. Contact number – 07899727027.

Exhibition dates: Saturday 3rd – Sunday 18th September (Wednesday – Fridays 11 – 3, and Weekends 11 – 6)

We’re also pleased to be hosting an Artist and Curator talk on 11th September and an additional film screening on 16th September – please see full details and booking links below.
