WIKI:BLACKBURN

2017-2018

The photography from the Wiki project – influenced by the places of significance listed within the town’s Wikipedia page – is both documentary and autoethnographic. I confront both the places I grew up in, and played in, and those which I have no emotional or historical connection to, all within the same geographical boundary of my home town, Blackburn, Lancashire, UK. The photographs from the Wiki project have been presented at the National Festival of Making (2018), the Cultural Difference and Social Solidarity Network Annual Conference (2018) and the Centre for Doctoral Research Art and Design Conference (2017)
