The Newbridge Project, NEPN and Side Gallery are working alongside fellow cultural organisations, photographers, community groups and academics from across the country to discuss and accelerate the practice of socially engaged photography.
As part of this initiative we are hosting our first North East regional network meeting, giving organisations and individual practitioners the opportunity to come together, share ideas, projects and questions about this practice. For the first meeting we will also be joined by Open Eye Gallery’s Head of Engagement & practitioner, Liz Wewiora, to offer more information on how the initiative first developed.
In the spirit of social practice, the network is shaped collaboratively by its users and so we would love to invite anyone interested in photography / lens based media and socially engaged arts practice to come along and help us develop its future.
