FORUM
A new collection of work from the UK’s most exciting reportage photographers
will be shown this summer
in Sometimes Words are too Slow – the new photographic exhibition
at London’s Proud Central (July 23rd –
September 3rd).
Featuring over 100 images taken by the eight multi award-winning members
of Forum photographic
collective (established in 2002)– Sometimes Words are too Slow presents
a study of the entire spectrum of
human experience and society through their travels across the four corners
of the world.
From a study of the life of fishermen in the Gaza strip to a Venezuelan
desert community; from a post-
Taliban Afghanistan cultural renaissance to London’s Sicilians –
Forum photographers find common threads
in the ordinary, everyday lives of an extraordinarily diverse range of
communities from around the world.
LET PHOTOS SPEAK
Proud Central is turned into the hot spot of instant communication, as
the Forum photographers venture
out to eight regions across the UK and relay back gripping reportage in
real time. At the same speed as the
stories emerge in the different places across the country, they will appear
onto a screen in London’s top
venue for reportage photography.
• Proud Central, 5 Buckingham Street, London (July
23rd – September 3rd - Launch night: July 22nd)
This is reportage in its purest form: bringing together style and substance
in a series of photographic
collections that are sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly; at one moment
appalling, at the next inspirational -
often depressing but always stimulating.
