SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Open Eye Gallery: The Flowers Still Grow
DESCRIPTION:The Flowers Still Grow brings together a series of projects tha
 t showcase long-term collaborations between photographers\, creative write
 rs\, and local communities in Anfield and Garston. Each project celebrates
  the people who make up these communities whilst reflecting their concerns
 \, experiences\, and aspirations of the society around them.\n\nPeople of 
 Anfield and Childhood is a garden\, co-created with communities in Anfield
  and Garston\, are the result of two year creative residencies commissione
 d by Open Eye Gallery and Culture Liverpool. The show also includes Next U
 p…\, our annual graduate showcase of work from the MA in Socially Engage
 d Photography course at the University of Salford\, and Social Lens: Celeb
 rating Creative Collaborations (exterior walls)\, a celebration of the col
 laborative projects we have produced over the past 8 years.\n\nWe live in 
 uncertain times around the world today\, and the exhibition represents how
  multiple voices have explored these concerns within their own local conte
 xt. Some projects focus on the inevitability and concerns of redevelopment
  of suburban landscapes\, and the impact of issues like austerity and the 
 Covid pandemic have had on people living and working here in the UK. Other
 s focus on the need for more opportunities and spaces for communities to c
 ome together to tackle issues of loneliness\, poor mental health and somet
 hing we all deserve: the right to be creative and play.\n\nSophie Mahon\, 
 Open Eye Gallery’s Joint Head of Social Practice\, said: Creative reside
 ncies in Anfield and Garston have enabled us to work closely and collabora
 tively with communities to showcase often sidelined voices of children\, o
 f local people and of broader social issues that impact Liverpool’s comm
 unities.\n\nOur long term community based residencies have enabled us to s
 upport people in sharing their own experiences about the areas they live i
 n\, providing a platform for untold stories\, moments of celebration and s
 pace for concerns to be voiced. We are honoured to showcase works both at 
 the gallery and locally in communities\, using photography and writing to 
 creatively and collaboratively tell stories of our communities across Live
 rpool.\n\nMore info: https://openeye.org.uk/whatson/flowers-still-grow/
