PRISM Photography Network presents their new exhibition ‘Canals’ at Centrala, launching for August Digbeth First Friday on 7th August, 5-9pm. The exhibitions runs for a week from 7th August to 15th August 2026.
PRISM curates a new photography project that celebrates the beauty & 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 will create a more intimate response to Digbeth and its communities through photography, moving image, recorded interviews and poetry.
