Faces of Suffolk is
a major photographic exhibition capturing 21st century life in our county
ranging from traditional rural life to the urban experience.
The exhibition offers a unique and fascinating
insight into the broad spectrum of Suffolk's people and communities via a
selection of professional and amateur images by local photographers. By
illustrating the diversity of contemporary Suffolk, it aims to undermine
stereotypes, encourage inclusiveness and tackle racism, particularly among
young people.
Faces ofSuffolk
will tour nine venues across the county. A series of workshops open to the
general public will accompany the exhibition - they will explore issues such as
values and beliefs, prejudice and discrimination, identity and difference.
Visitors are also invited to bring their own photos along to contribute to a
community display.
Faces of Suffolk draws its inspiration from
Faces of Kabul, a ground breaking project recently undertaken in post-war
Afghanistan.
The Faces of Suffolk Exhibition has
been created by Suffolk Racial
Harassment Initiative, together with Suffolk Inter-Faith Resource (SIFRE) and
other partners.
The
exhibition was launched by Chinwe Chukwuogo-Roy on Tuesday 10th June
in the Robert Cross Hall at the Ipswich Corn Exchange. Chinwe’s Launch Speech
