England’s New Lenses, Photoworks
£0.00
England’s New Lenses is a collection of work commissioned from four outstanding young photographers to showcase their unique visions of iconic English Heritage sites. The project provided a platform for four young artists to discover, explore and create new visual vocabularies for heritage sites that spoke to them. The artist’s explorations resulted in images which contribute a new layer of interpretation, understanding and experience to each heritage site they chose.
Artists Kemka Ajoku, Abena Appiah, Megan Mechelle Dalton and Mia Parker-Tang each chose the sites and themes for their work. Originally conceived as a digital-only project, the outstanding quality of the work led us to develop an on-site exhibition at Wrest Park, Bedfordshire in the summer of 2021, which reached a wide audience and was covered in the national press.
England’s New Lenses is a collaboration between English Heritage, Photoworks and Shout Out Loud, a Kick the Dust project supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. England’s New Lenses received additional support from the DCMS Youth Accelerator Fund.
