PRISM Photography Network presents their new exhibition ‘Canals’ at Centrala, launching for August Digbeth First Friday on 7th August, 5-9pm.
PRISM is curating a new photography project that celebrates the beauty and culture of Digbeth and the Birmingham canals. The project unfolds through two complementary approaches. Three lead photographers will guide small groups on canal‑side photowalks, tracing routes from the city centre through Digbeth to Spaghetti Junction, with the support of Nick Cleaver from the Canal & River Trust. Additionally, a group of visual artists are creating a more intimate response to Digbeth and its communities through photography, moving image, recorded interviews and poetry.
