Open call for photographic submissions at The Media workshop, Southampton.
The Media Workshop in Southampton is calling photographers to participate in a group exhibition about Objects and Identity. Participants are asked to think about the relationship between objects and us, about how they surround and interact with us, how an everyday object can tell something about a person. Submissions could focus on a person and their object or you could interpret the brief in any other way you like.
You can submit up to 3 pictures for selection.
Photographs can be digital file format or prints.

Project funded by Southampton City Council Community Chest
As part of The Future Jobs Trainee scheme coordinated by Weatsheaf Trust the Media Workshop have been very proud to have the assistance
of Sam Baxter. Sam has been working alongside workshop co-ordinator Martin Reid and members of Southampton’s Black Heritage group on a project for Black History week. Local residents have been meeting in a series of workshops designed to explore and commemorate their cultural history. Sam has been interviewing
members of the group about their past. Participants have been Getting Creative for Black History Month telling Sam stories about their lives before coming to England and taking up residence in Southampton. Martin has then been working with the group to explore their histories through pictures. The majority of participants are over 50 and from Caribbean descent. The pictures which they have brought with them are currently being turned into photo boxes. The boxes will consist of both words and pictures to tell each person’s individual story. The inside of the boxes will be lit up on the night of the exhibition as a glowing tribute to their pasts and future.We can’t wait to see the exhibition and would love you to come down and take a look too.
The exhibition will be on show from October at the The Workshop Gallery, Mount Pleasant Junior School.
There’s a new project going on this Summer and Autumn for the volunteers.
MW volunteers have started on what sets to be one of the workshop’s biggest exhibitions for Community workers across Southampton this September.We all know that voluntary work is out there and those of you in the charity sector know just how valuable those special people who give their time freely are. Many people may not realise how diverse voluntary opportunities are in the community and just how rewarding the experience can be. The volunteers at the workshop have spent the summer contacting many organisations
in the local area then going out into the community and taking photographs of voluntary work in action, from
hospitals to hospices, festivals to fundraising. The project has offered the volunteers invaluable experience
in the workings of a large scale project. Project Management skills are a valuable asset not to mention the experiences gained from working with so many people in the community. The photographs will then be digitally developed or hand printed in the darkroom using equipment down at the workshop, ready for their
gallery debut. The exhibition will be on show at the Media Workshop this autumn.
