To Shine a Light - Who Dared to Dream

RPS Gallery | 9 August - 29 September 2024 |  Free admission

This exhibition asks photographers to respond to a statement – “who dared to dream” – and seeks to bring together a variety of different photography styles and approaches from photographers at all levels of photographic practice.

It aims to celebrate contemporary female-identifying photographers including trans, queer and non-binary people including those from a diverse ethnic and underrepresented background who have used photography to effect change.

The statement is taken from an interview with Joy Gregory HonFRPS about her new book Shining Lights (MACK, 2024).
