SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Open Eye Gallery: Now For The Future
DESCRIPTION:Shutter Hub have teamed up with Liverpool’s Open Eye Gallery 
 for a thought- provoking international photography exhibition exploring co
 ntemporary ideas of myths\, folklore and memory. In a time of growing envi
 ronmental crisis\, the exhibition aims to help us visualise a better futur
 e.\nThe exhibition\, ‘Now\, for the Future’\, showcases the work of o
 ver 20 creative photographers\, sourced from as far afield as Bolivia\, Ca
 nada\, France\, Germany\, Japan\, Israel\, UK\, Italy\, US\, and Portuga
 l.\nNow\, for the Future explores many unique ideas for creating a visual
  language which draws from the past and present\, while plotting potential
  roadmaps for the future.\nHighlights from the exhibition include Simon Is
 aac’s poignant work ‘David Come Home’\, which explores themes of mi
 gration and homecoming. It charts the imaginary journey of a lunar explore
 r who crash-lands home after three years in space. The story features a NA
 SA spacesuit used in David Bowie’s Blackstar video alongside scenes sh
 ot at Iceland’s Svinafellsjokull Glacier\, which featured in the film 
 Interstellar. Watch the accompanying 7-minute film ‘Planetary Transiti
 on’ on Vimeo. \nEqually interesting is the work of Glasgow-based artis
 t Simona Ciocarlan. Her project ‘They Danced in a Different Way’ vivi
 dly explores ideas around nostalgia\, national culture and memory\, via th
 e traditional dress and rituals of her native Romania.\nAn Eye on the Worl
 d\nPhotography is easily one of the most accessible tools we have to tell 
 personal stories about how we perceive the world around us. We use it to u
 nderstand others and find common ground\, which helps us thrive in an incr
 easingly fragmented world.\nShutter Hub’s Creative Director Karen Harvey
  outlines the exhibition’s key themes: ‘We’re looking for the myths 
 and fables of today\,’ says Karen. ‘Will the stories we tell today sur
 vive to be the folklore of the future? We hope that Now\, for the Future
  could be a visual handbook for emotional survival.’\nTranslations and 
 Transitions\nThe exhibition has been curated as part of LOOK Photo Bienni
 al at Open Eye Gallery for Open Source in their Digital Window Gallery
 .\nChapter 2 of the Biennial has two strands: Translate explores how the
  present can be broken down and interpreted by photography\, while Transi
 tion highlights creative projects which share perspectives which help us 
 shape the future.\nVisitor Information\nNow for the Future will run from 1
