CURATION
YOLK, Copeland Gallery, Peckham
6-11th June 2025
On behalf of this year’s UWE BA Photography cohort, a small team of producers worked throughout the year to fundraise for, promote, and curate our final show in London.Given the diversity of genres and themes amidst the student body, we curated democratically in the form of a salon hang. Integrating short films, hand prints and physical artefacts into the space added texture and an extra layer of storybuilding to the space.
