SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Open Eye Gallery: Collective Matters
DESCRIPTION:COLLECTIVE MATTERS\n1 OCTOBER - 12 DECEMBER 2021\n\n\n\n\nColle
 ctive Matters celebrates and reflects upon a series of socially engaged p
 rojects developed over the past two to three years across the North West r
 egion. Over this time\, artists and communities have come together to expl
 ore how photography can be used as a tool for self-expression\, reflection
  and resilience in what is becoming an ever increasingly isolated world. W
 hat has come from these various collaborations is a testament to the fact 
 that with creativity comes purpose\, belonging and a space to create new c
 onversations about the people and places around us.\n\nGallery 1 presents 
 work by local photography collective\, Clickmoor\, based in MyClubmoor. 
 The group were supported by artists Emma Case and Katherine Monaghan to de
 velop their own photographic skills and identity. The work offers a glimps
 e into each member’s journey through this process\, both practically and
  emotionally.\n\nAlso on display in Gallery 1 is the project Haven\, a co
 llaboration by photographer Stephanie Wynne and Wirral Women\, who have pr
 oduced work relating to themes of safety\, focusing on the places that sus
 tain us during difficult and isolated times. The work is intentionally thr
 ee dimensional and tactile\, as a direct response to the virtual 2D spaces
  we have spent much of the past two years within.\n\nGallery 2 showcases w
 ork by recent graduates from our joint MA in Socially Engaged Photography 
 with the University of Salford. Featured graduates are Gerard Francis\, Ra
 chel Mason\, Lāsma Poiša and her collective Snappy Valley\, and Andy Y
 ates. These four photographers’ works reflect the diversity of practice
  coming from the next generation of socially engaged practitioners.\n\nJus
 t Between Friends is a project developed and produced by artists Robert P
 arkinson and Gary Bratchford and a community group in Castlefields\, Runco
 rn\, recently established as the Phoenix Amateur Photography Group (PAP).
  The project is a cross-site exhibition split across Gallery 3\, our exter
 nal gallery walls\, and four public realm installations in Runcorn. The pr
 oject reflects how relationships are developed and formed through the acts
  of conversation\, walking and photography\, and how each one of these act
 ions interacts with and informs the other. The cross-site nature of the pr
 oject creates a further exchange between site and gallery\, and to better 
 reconcile the relationship between community and institution\, city and su
 burb.\n\nCollective Matters reflects ideas of what we love\, what inspire
 s us\, what frustrates us\, and ultimately what makes us human. With this\
 , we want to know what matters to you. We welcome you to engage with our d
 edicated space in Gallery 2 as well as our online programme to continue th
 ese conversations through interactive sessions\, pop-up showcases\, talks 
 and workshops. In this respect\, this show is not the final product\, but 
 simply part of the journey. We explore\, we learn and we share. With this 
 comes growth for our communities\, our artists\, for us as a gallery and f
 or you\, our audience. Collectively\, we are community.\n\nImages: Paul Mc
