Spectrum of the Everyday

Spectrum of the Everyday gives visibility to the reality of the featured artists, whose work demonstrates how media creation furthers self-determination and social inclusion.

Bringing together the outcomes of three photographic group workshops (with the Centre for Human Development, Sefrou, Morocco; Hart Club and Al Hasaniya Moroccan Women Centre, London, UK), this exhibition celebrates ever-evolving possibilities for creating media that challenge notions of singular authorship and ownership through participation.

Set against the prescriptive, profit-driven forms of mainstream expression, Spectrum of the Everyday presents images and other artifacts that have been created in the spirit of the collective.

These images have been chosen by all participating artists, who invite the public to explore other possible acts of community-building, collective storytelling. All proceeds from the sales of the prints go directly to the artists.
