Our Place. Our Space. DESCRIPTION:Spellow Library and County Road\, Walton\n\nFrom 16 August\n\nO pen Eye Gallery’s photographer in residence Lucy Hunter has been working closely with residents from Walton including a group of young people from Walton Youth &\; Community Project and youth worker Connor Wells for t he past year. Over this time\, the young people’s photography group\, wh o all live locally\, have been meeting weekly to experiment with different cameras and techniques to share their perspectives and experiences. The g roup enjoyed regular photo walks\, experimenting with shadow and slow move ment\, noticing the way the light and atmosphere changed as the sun began to set. They also focused on the people and places which felt most importa nt to them in their local area.\n\nThere is a selection of imagery taken f rom the group on display at Spellow Library and on the lamp post banners s ituated along County Road. The work sits alongside a wider selection of ph otography made during workshops or sessions between Lucy and local residen ts.\n\nIn her interview for Open Eye Gallery Lucy Hunter says:\n\n– W e understand that County District has its challenges\, and we are not naiv e to the struggles that are faced by many in the area. However\, we have f elt very welcomed into the community. Speaking of our experiences\, we sha re a belief that so many locals want to help and share their own ideas and stories. We feel as though the community has really taken us under their wing and into their family. There is so much going on locally\, and the se nse of identity\, connection and pride in this neighbourhood is strong. Th ere are so many amazing organisations within the locality of County Road t hat engage with\, support and encourage locals. When wandering the area we are struck by the evidence of Walton’s history\, shown through the arch itecture\, unique details and little clues to what was there before. \n\n This residency is connected to a wider programme of cultural interventions in the County Road Area\, which is part of Culture Liverpool’s Next Ge neration Neighbourhood Projects. The work is co-commissioned with Open Ey e Gallery\, and a selection of the work will then tour to the gallery in L iverpool from 28 September – 23 December 2023.\n\nPhotographers Sarah We ights and Tricia Grant-Hanlon also assisted with the project\, with Sarah also creating the design work for the exhibition.\n\nImages by Walton You th and Community Project members ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2023/09/Framedimages-8-1.jpg LOCATION:Open Eye Gallery\, Mann Island\, Liverpool Waterfront\, Liverpool\ , L3 1BP\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.40423;-2.994412 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mann Island\, Liverpool Wat erfront\, Liverpool\, L3 1BP\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=1 00;X-TITLE=Open Eye Gallery:geo:53.40423,-2.994412 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
