BPF Opening Night: Old Market Exhibitions at IC Visual Lab & 17 Midland Road Gallery

Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Free entry! Bristol Photography Festival lifts the lid on modern visionaries behind the lens from daring photo-journalism to abstract expressionistic work. It opens with two interlinked exhibits: drawings of ‘unshowable’ images from the 1948 Nakba + a visual exploration of the dreams of exiled peoples by Amak Mahmoodian."

A event on Wednesday 16th October. The event starts at 19:00.

Join us to celebrate the opening of two exhibitions: One Hundred and Twenty Minutes by Amak Mahmoodian (17 Midland Road), which examines the experience of dreaming for those living in exile. And Unshowable Photographs by Ariella Azoulay (IC Visual Lab), which explores how official archives have shaped history by limiting visibility of the Palestinian nakba (1947-1950).

The two exhibition venues are situated a one-minute walk apart and we encourage you to attend both. Following the openings, please join us for an afterparty at Old Market Assembly (9pm-11pm).
