My St Pauls

My St Pauls is a permanent display of 20 photographs taken during workshops by the Real Photography Company who run the community darkrooms at the learning centre. The black and white images taken on film were developed and printed in the darkrooms by individuals from a variety of local groups including: over 50s, refugees and individuals recovering from addiction. The photographs cover the brief ‘My St Pauls’ and include images taken at St Pauls Carnival.

One of the Directors Ruth Jacobs said,

“We are pleased to mount this exhibition celebrating the creative achievements of the participants of Community Photography Projects taking pace at St Pauls Darkrooms. As a large-scale outdoor photography exhibition it is accessible for all to enjoy, without restriction, even in this time of lockdown. We are working with Bristol Photography Festival to bring more photography outdoors in a series of workshops taking place this summer – look out for details!”

St Paul’s is an area of high unemployment and lack of investment so many of the activities will be offered free of charge, targeting local schools and community groups.

This permanent exhibition, as well as increasing the profile of the centre, enables local people to represent their community through traditional photographic skills.

St Pauls Learning Centre, 94 Grosvenor Road, St Pauls, Bristol.
