Our Viewpoint exhibition showcases images from photographers that illustrate the range of effects that can be generated by selecting an ideal vantage point.

These images convey energy in many forms, such as, the power and tension of modernist cityscapes, the visual appeal of landscapes as well as complex patterns of light and shadow.

Fabian Holland with Jon & Alfie

Event Date: 
20/11/2015 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Cygnet Theatre, Exeter

Double Bill of Folk Music in association with Wren Music. Tickets

Lyrically evocative, sometimes moody and melancholic, Holland’s unadorned music has a flip side of songs of upbeat, wry humour but always acutely observed.

Cornish folk duo Jon & Alfie bring both original material and traditional folk tunes from all over the world. At once foot-stamping and unpredictable, their sound is experimental in its subtle questioning of folk music idioms.

Exe Valley Leisure Centre, Tiverton.

Statistics show that men are half as likely as women to be diagnosed with depression but three times more likely to end their own lives. The failure to understand male depression is due to a continuing silence about the emotional world of men, according to a study to be showcased during the Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) Festival of Social Science.
