Ben Uri Gallery are delighted to exhibit The Shell Amateurs present Community Photography Exhibition this March 2014. This is a fascinating exhibition that offers a glimpse into the local area of Camden and our neighbouring residents, exploring places, people and the unique and individual way in which our daily lives are so influenced by the world around us. The photography presents those moments in life that have captured the imaginations of the artists and whilst many of the artists featured in the show are new to the world of digital photography, the work produced has a poignancy that would be the envy of many a professional photographer.

The relationship between the gallery and The South Hampstead and Kilburn Community Partnership (SHAK) has been steadily growing over the last year and we have greatly enjoyed working with our neighbours. Ben Uri are keen to provide a wide range of educational and creative opportunities for those living in the local community and share with SHAK the belief in the importance of access to education at every stage of life. By collaborating with SHAK on projects such as this, we continue to support the fantastic work that takes place at The Shell Centre.

Ben Uri would like to thank City Printing for their generous support of the exhibition. We would also like to thank Camden Council, John Boyle, Director at South Hampstead and Kilburn Community Association and Zoe Lee, Adult Learning Tutor Directorate – Children, Schools and Families, London Borough of Camden for all of their work towards bringing this wonderful project together. Ben Uri would also like to thank Alix Smith, Learning Programmes Manager, Gabby Edlin, Learning Officer and the rest of the Ben Uri team for their work and support for the project. Finally Ben Uri would like to thank the participants, Vittorio Concu, John Cowley, Liz Hill, Rosemary Hudson, Bertie Jemmott, Eddy Newman, Joan O’Connell , Miss Freddie Prior, Moira Smith, Ingrid Toye, for their hard work, creativity and commitment to the project.
