Open Eye Gallery and Culture Liverpool are looking to commission a socially engaged photographer to work in the County Road District area of Liverpool City Region.
This residency is connected to a wider programme of cultural interventions in the County Road Area, which is part of Culture Liverpool’s Next Generation Neighbourhood Projects.
This commission takes place at the early stages of working with the community to affect change and will sit alongside other creative commissions in the local area. All will seek to do the following:
- To foster a sense of community ownership and pride
- Offer skills to community members
- Produce high quality, free, creative workshops for the local community
- Provide long-term, deep engagement in the County Road Area
The selected photographer will work with community members with the overall aim of understanding their unique stories.
In the spirit of socially engaged photography they will be led by members of the local community, whilst maximising their own creativity and skills as a photographer to co-create, with the community, stories of the area and its people.
