Living Pictures

Product Information

Please use this feature on your own historical photos and not on photos featuring living people without their permission.” We provide training and development for young people who learn differently and also for professional theatre makers. For all our participants, we provide a non-pressurised approach to learning, allowing people the space and time to develop in their own unique way. Finally, Contemporary Imaginations immerses the visitor in the explosion of images in the present day. Referring to Walter Benjamin’s question about whether art was photography, this section recognises the omnipresence of photography as ‘a way of seeing, thinking, and interacting’ with the world. Here we see the vibrant and multilayered tableaux of Filipina artist Wawi Navarroza [above], who combines self-portraiture with the assembly of disparate objects to reflect on self and place. Representation is a recurring theme in the section, which unavoidably engages with political matters. In Dinh Q Lê’s Crossing the Farther Shore, for example, we see found photographs of anonymous South Vietnamese families taken before the country’s reunification in 1975. A poignant collection of short pieces about the author's hometown, St. Petersburg, Russia, and the siege of Leningrad that combines memoir, history, and fiction.

Not necessarily. It can be easy to get carried away and try to fill every wall with decor, but if there’s too much going on in one room it can feel a little overpowering. Creating balance is key to any successful decorating scheme. So if you have one area that’s quite busy visually, counteract this by having areas that feel calmer and have less going on.

There are up to two million people in the UK living with severe sight loss, including 20,000 children. One in six of us will become blind or partially sighted by the time we reach 75. Blind and partially sighted people face constant challenges, for children they can’t take part in the same activities as their peers and siblings and often feel excluded, and in later life sight loss can be linked to increasing isolation and depression. The benefits so far have been immense for our participants, sometimes providing the highlight of their educational week.

Garden Manager Sarah Redman brings her enthusiasm and wider knowledge of the natural environment and biodiversity. We give thousands of blind and partially sighted people the opportunity to borrow our Touch to See books from a free postal library. Our Carmarthenshire centre, Coed Dylan provides opportunities in sustainable gardening and land-based enterprises as well as creative workshops. Our mission there is to champion inclusion and nurture skills and lifelong learning via the natural world. Their work is based on a deep and intuitive insight into the varying tools young directors might need to develop and grow.”Phasellus at velit eu nunc rutrum tincidunt quis in ipsum.

Polina Barskova was born and brought up in Leningrad over 30 years after the end of the siege of that city by the Germans during WWII. The siege lasted from September 1941 to January 1944. The siege cast a long shadow which still affected the lives of the children in the 1970s and early 1980s. Reminders were all around, a preserved bomb shelter, missing buildings, walls scarred by shell fragments, and in memorials. Thanks to Community Foundation Wales we are improving disability access in the Polytunnel and garden. Our books are enjoyed at home with family and friends, in schools, or for adults as members of one of our community Touch to See Book Clubs around the country.
