No previous experi ence necessary – just bring an open mind.\n\nWhy?\n\nWith support from O pen Eye Gallery\, Writing on the Wall and Storylab\, the ‘Tell it like i t is’ club invites the residents and workers of L1 and L8 to reflect on 100 previously unseen photographs of Liverpool\, and co-create new images and creative/critical writing in response. As a group\, we will share our own experiences about where we live\, in our own words\, in our own way.\n \nLed by artist Ian Clegg and Open Eye Critical Writer-in-Residence Laura Robertson\, we want to celebrate all the different ways that photography a nd creative/critical writing can work together to tell new stories about w here we live. Writing about photographs is a great way to learn how to wri te\; it can connect us to others\, and to what’s around us.\n\nTaking in spiration from ‘ethnomediaology’ – whose three core values are int egrity\, authenticity and openness – our club will use networking\, coll aboration and sharing to explore the stories of communities here in Liverp ool. We believe this is a generous foundation on which to share perspectiv es\, learn from each other\, and create new narratives and understanding a bout where we live.\n\nWho?
