The University of Sunderland in collaboration with the North East Photography Network and the Folkwang University, Essen, Germany is organising a photographic exhibition and online display on the theme of urban experience with photographs taken by you.
The project aims to present a visual mosaic of the cities we inhabit, inviting images of any style, genre and format depicting urban space and architecture, people and the buzz of the city. Photographs that challenge iconic representations and stereotypes of places and people and which provide unique insight into the commonplaces and/or unknown aspects of ones home city are warmly welcome.
Exhibition opens on 29 April 2010
City Space, Sunderland University, Sunderland
All participants are invited.
How you can participate: From 1 March until 12 April 2010, each person may contribute one unmounted photograph up to A3 size (297 × 420 cm or 11.7 x 16.5 inc). Photographs should be clearly labeled at the back including full name, title, date, and contact details (phone and/or e-mail address). An explanatory paragraph may also be submitted.
Submissions may be hand-delivered or send by post to Carol McKay or Alexandra Moschovi, ADM Ashburne House, Ryhope Road, Sunderland, SR2 7EF. Photographs will be exhibited in the City Space for two days but will only be returned if a self-addressed, pre-stamped envelope is included. A selection of the submitted material will also feature in the North East Photography Network Website.
