Following on from two recent exhibitions at Castlefield Gallery New Art Spaces: Chester, Reclaim. Suzanne St Clare and residents of Chester (2023) and Picturing High Streets – Suzanne St Clare and Chester Traders (2023), join photographic artist Suzanne St Clare for an online talk about her practice.
Centering on the exploration of memories and their staged, cinematic recreation, St Clare’s work often emerges from collaboration with communities. She has extensive experience working with young people, introducing them to photography techniques as a means to facilitate wider discussions. As well as discussing some of her recent work, Suzanne will share her experiences of initiating and developing socially engaged projects.
