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.
