Holding the Baby, A Conversation at Arnolfini
See event details

A event held at Arnolfini on Saturday 21st May. The event starts at 14:00.


2pm to 3.30pm
Join us for a conversation about parenthood, photography, and sharing stories, with photographer Polly Braden, writer Sally Williams, and Holding the Baby participants Gemma White and Carike West. Find out what it was like to create this participatory project – an intimate portrait exploring the strength and resilience of single parent families and the challenges they face – from those behind and in front of the lens as they discuss how the photographs and accompanying texts were made together.

This will be an informal discussion event, with families and children welcome, and free and open to all. You can also visit Holding the Baby, a free exhibition of new photographic work by artist Polly Braden at Arnolfini until Sunday 12 June 2022.
