Growing Spaces
IN COLLABORATION WITH BRISTOL FOOD NETWORK, GOING FOR GOLD, BRISTOL EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIP, CITY FARMS, SOIL ASSOCIATION & THE ST.PAULS COMMUNITY DARKROOM.
After Chris Hoare began his Growing Spaces commission for Bristol Photo Festival in 2020, we knew there was more to explore. Chris had captured the rich landscape of growing spaces around Bristol, representing and revealing the diverse beauty of these increasingly important areas. But his work also epitomised the practice and self-discipline involved in capturing the perfect image, and this was equally reflected in the stories of hard work and determination that each allotment holder shared. This project therefore aimed to draw upon these parallels between photography and growing and to find out more about how the two practices connect. After all, aren’t the tastiest vegetables and the most interesting art the product of hard work and learning to understand raw materials?
This project includes a commission, living archive, outdoor workshops, photo walks and exhibitions.
