Go wild in the country about town
Illuminating developments This May, Illuminate, an exciting creative space at Brightwell Barns, launches its first-ever unique Suffolk photography project, EXPOSURE. The imagining of Illuminate founder Mikaela Rackham, EXPOSURE sets out to celebrate and showcase the amazing work of photographic artists from across East Anglia and beyond. Photographers were invited to submit their work under four categories: Landscape/Place, People & Portrait, Natural World and Alternative & Experimental, and three artists from each category have been selected by a panel of four creative judges to feature in the exhibition which will run until the end of May. They will also feature in a one-off, limited-edition Zine - a community-published, non-commercial, creative print-work produced in small batches – which will be available to purchase. This open event will be a fantastic opportunity to see these works of art for the first time alongside the unveiling of the limited edition run of the first ever EXPOSURE Zine. www.illuminatestudio.co.uk 34
