‘Emerging’ at the Science Museum

July 2, 2024 admin PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YOUTHS, Youth Exhibition, Exhibition, Community Photojournalism Projects

This year the Photojournalism Hub has been invited to be a community partner of Imperial College The Great Exhibition Road Festival in South Kensington.

We were delighted to showcase a photography exhibition from our young people’s group at the Smith Centre in the Science Museum. It was an amazing experience for everyone involved and in particular for our young people who had the opportunity to share and speak about their work to a large number of people who came to visit us and the festival.

Here are some photos from ‘Emerging’ photography exhibition at the Smith Centre in the Science Museum:

Communities

June 12, 2024 admin Community Photojournalism Projects, PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YOUTHS, Youth Magazine

The Photojournalism Hub is proud to present the latest edition of documentary photography and writings from our workshop participants. This issue focuses on the theme of ‘Communities’ in its broadest sense.

Our participants have captured stories using a social documentary approach, reported directly on community events, and explored the meaning of community from both personal and broader perspectives.
We feature stories of communities of skaters, Meanwhile Gardens and the fight for its survival, exploring graffiti as a community voice, local venues that forms hubs of community attraction and support, and much more. Additionally, we present stories that have been taken abroad as some participants find that communities is what they feel they belong to.

The photo stories in this edition demonstrate a strong level of ownership of the medium of photography and visual narrative. I am delighted to share them with you.

Why shop small business?

March 2, 2024 admin PHOTOGRAPHY FOR YOUTHS, Youth Magazine

Photojournalism Hub presents Why shop small business? – the latest edition of documentary photography and writings from our local young and senior participants of our documentary photography courses.
Why shop small business? brought a lot of conversations and critical analysis on what it really means. Are we shopping more ethically because more conscious of what we eat? Are we more aware of the authenticity and the personal experiences that one has in small independent outlerier. Or the choices of shopping small points to having the economic capacity to do so and thus a statement of wealth. One pervading reflection is that shopping small is very much tied to serving communities. We could say that we have many communities around each local shop, something that we cannot find in much bigger commercial chain.

We have printed a number of copies of the magazine for our beneficiaries and for sharing and making it available in our community. If you would like a copy or discuss a feature, please contact us.

We would like to thank the NHS West London Trust, Hammersmith & Fulham Council, Sobus and Hammersmith United Charities for their support.
