Ffotogallery: Nation of Photographers

Champions of photography and lens-based media in Wales and beyond, Ffotogallery worked with an incredible group of women and non-binary artists and photographers from or living in Wales to curate an outdoor gallery exhibition called Nation of Photographers to mark St. Davids Day. Highlighting alternative systems of living, working and seeing, Nation of Photographers invites passersby to explore the richness of what it means to live in Wales today.

With striking artworks from artists such as Phoebe Davies, Asma Elmi, Dione Jones, and Lauren Joy Kennett, JACK ARTS helped Ffotogallery take these windows into homes and challenges some people are experiencing to the streets of Cardiff and Swansea.

Take a closer look at an introduction into Phoebe Davies’ exploration of the physicality and personal narratives of occupying communal and competitive spaces as part of her body of work, Points of Rupture; the co-created project Rooted in Our Dhaqan, from Asma Elmi (founder of Al Naaem) which gives an insight into the intricate beauty, strength, and poetic nature of Somali heritage; Dione Jones’ views on bodies and identities without borders and constraints; and a piece from Lauren Joy Kennett’s book SORRY IM NOT SORRY which reveals Kennett’s experiences of living with undiagnosed autism below.
