A Summer of Exhibitions and Workshops!

Posted bygrahamhembroughPosted inBlog

It’s been great hearing the enthusiastic and positive feedback received in relation to my recent / current exhibitions!

The Royal Cambrian Academy showcased the latest project commission, ‘RCA Artists & Makers of Conwy’ my photography was accompanied by examples of work by each artist I photographed.

My exhibition then went onto Conwy Culture Centre (currently being shown) whilst the RCA Summer exhibition premiered the 12 Soundscapes I produced featuring each artist / maker in this project. (These Soundscapes are available on the project page of this website now too). I organised a number of workshops which I delivered in Llanwrst, ColwynBay and Conwy relating to documentary photography and its place in community which proved popular. These were free, being funded through Conwy County Council and Arts Council Wales whose support I gratefully acknowledge.

Storiel Gallery and Museum, Bangor has also included other Soundscapes and images of my work through their Summer exhibition celebrating the ‘Fine Art Programme at Bangor University (1998-2022)’. Artwork by 25 tutors (whom I was one), who have taught at all levels including BA and MA gathered together for this celebratory farewell exhibition.

Finally, my recent project ‘People of Conwy’ is currently showing at the Glasdir Library and Conference Centre in Llanwrst.

I am a freelance Photographer and Photographic tutor, who during the Covid crisis of 2020 - 2021 invested time in developing skills in sound recording to extend my professional practise and support future project work. Combining photography with soundscapes I hope will provide greater access to all and provide an added appreciation for the project work I am engaged in, be that personal or commissioned. My thanks to the Arts Council of Wales Lottery fund for financially supporting this transition. I work on photographic projects for the public sector (Museum and Galleries), social documentary, portraiture and occasional commercial undertakings. I am an elected member of the RCA (Royal Cambrian Academy) and recently retired from lecturing at Bangor University and Llandrillo College to concentrate on my freelance work.
