Meridian RAW CIC, the Exeter-based social enterprise, has announced an exhibition at the Exeter Picturehouse to celebrate the culmination of their community project in central Exeter.
This diverse exhibition is part of the Our Lives, Our Community, Our Voice project which was a two-year community project in Exeter and used photography as a means of engagement and empowerment. The project was managed by the Olive Tree Association/Devon Grapevine in partnership with Meridian Raw and has been generously funded by the People’s Health Trust.
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.
VIEWPOINT is a touring photographic exhibition created and supported by The Photographic Angle.
