The Leeds Traveller History Photographic Exhibition

Studio 12 work with the local 'gypsy, roma, traveller' (GRT) community to create unique portraits of travellers in the present day.

1st March 2010 - 31st March 2010

In the run up to GRT History Month, Leeds Find Your Talent have supported a series of photographic sessions at Studio 12 in Leeds Central Library for young people aged 8-14 from the GRT community.

Working alongside Studio12’s Media Arts Facilitator, participants developed their technical and composition skills to explore issues around identity and created unique portraits of travellers in the present-day.

The images will be profiled in an exhibition as part of the GRT History month celebrations at Leeds Central Library during June.

The exhibition promises to be a real highlight for GRT History month and will celebrate the achievements of the local GRT communities who have a valuable role to play in the cultural heritage of Leeds.
