Ethnographs at the Hempel’s gallery

I know what you’re thinking. There’s been a lot of talk of running ultra-length marathons, the summer looks like it is in full swing (doh, now I’ve cursed it) & everyone is gearing up for that big bbq, so it is time naturally for some high culture, perfect then that the Hempel are changing their gallery exhibition….

‘Ethnographs’, an exhibition of new work by award winning photographer Philip Gatward. Made up of a series of beautiful and elegiac portraits of the people of the South Omo Valley region in Ethopia, the show sees the artist return to a subject that has fascinated him since childhood, when he was first astonished and moved by Robert Gardener’s 1974 documentary ‘Rivers of Sand’.

I’ve let my culture-vulture-cohort Tilly know, and we’ve already booked our viewing! See you there (one day Tilly says, it will be here exhibition…living for that day!). Have a great weeeeeeekenddddddd
