Forgotten Places: Falling in Love with Stoke Again is an exhibition showcasing new photography by members of Brighter Future’s Appetite arts hub, Lullaby, inspired by their home town of Stoke-on-Trent.

Participants have been working with professional photographer Dan Burwood, director of Birmingham based Some Cities, learning different aspects of photography from portraiture and storytelling to close up photography over the course of 6 weeks. With their new photography skills they have explored and captured the city on foot.

Forgotten Places captures a selection of the participants’ photography in screen and wall based installation, reflecting the breadth of approaches experimented with over the course and hidden aspects of Stoke-on-Trent the aspiring photographers have uncovered.

Venue: Airspace Gallery
Opening times: 12pm-4pm every Thursday, Friday & Saturday from 5 March to 19 March

Brighter Futures helps people with multiple and complex needs develop skills, gain confidence and live safe fulfilling lives.

Some Cities is a Community Interest Company that uses participatory photography to give a voice to the people and communities of Birmingham. Some Cities believes that photography can be used to share knowledge and create opportunities for dialogues and understanding between communities.
