That’s the focus of these courses and this show . Both exhibitions have been through the process of thinking about what th e students want to say as photographers. They are treated exactly the same as we would treat any international artist: it’s not about where they a re in their careers\, it’s about these individual voices and the stories they tell.\n\n \;\n\nThis exhibition is a continued celebration of Op en Eye Gallery’s ongoing relationship with Hugh Baird College and UCEN M anchester. We are delighted to be supporting new photographic talent at th e beginning of their artistic careers.
