MyBrighton & Hove exhibition opens Saturday

Leon Adrian: “I took this photo of Brighton West Pier standing close to the water on a sunny day. Taking photos hasn’t made me see Brighton and Hove in a new way, but it has made me look closer at what was already there.”

The first MYBRIGHTON & HOVE Photo Project Exhibition opens in Phoenix Brighton on Saturday evening and will be hanging for a month.

Run by local volunteer Lucy Grounewoud, the exhibition will have 146 photos taken by people who are currently homeless or have recently been homeless. One hundred single-use Fujifilm Quicksnap cameras were handed out in late June and early July.

Based on the MyLondon project, the 2019 MYBRIGHTON & HOVE calendar will be launched on Wednesday 10 October, World Homeless Day. The photos in the calendar, which was recently successfully funded in an online campaign, will also be in the exhibition.
