Talking about migration – a frequent condition, especially amongst young people. With no time to root somewhere as another change is coming. The consequence is a constant re-questioning of our identity – sometimes in a new environment – the only constant thing we have is the house.

Anyone can turn on a Nintendo Wii, few know how to set up a carousel. In an age when corporations, focus groups and global supply-chains like to dictate how we are entertained, a defiantly independent community, the travelling showmen, maintains the art and industry of a far more eclectic experience – the funfair. This photography exhibition goes behind the scenes to the showmen’s ‘winter quarters’ to witness warehouses filled with sleeping rides, a 99-yearold showlady who ran away with the fair when she was 14, and to follow the showmen to a pitch on a common first taken by a family member in 1775. Yet how much longer will their way of life last?

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” (Henry Miller). First Light’s exhibition brings together six photographers. Miller’s observation is the common thread that permeates their pictures and approach to image making. Made between 1950 and 2012 in Berlin, London, Spain, Egypt and the English and French countryside, they are discoveries in new, sometimes accidental environments. Yet at the same time, they have always been part of the visual vocabulary of each photographer. Integral to the exhibition will be A Distant Place, an Installation Music piece composed by thegreyzone for First Light’s Fringe participation.

On the Surface of Images is Ahn’s first major solo exhibition. The work explores the relationship between Ahn’s parents, and in turn his family’s relationship with death and the afterlife. Using photography to reflect, repeat and dismember his parents, the images Ahn presents here often verge on the surreal.

Black History Month is run by volunteers with a shared aim: we want to create a space for you to enjoy the rich variety of heritages, languages and cultures that enrich our society.
We invite you to join us in this celebration – long after the London Olympics and Paralympics have finished, let us continue being united as one world here in Brighton & Hove and Sussex. Photo credit: Black History Month street party, 2010. Photo by Paul Jackson
