Refocus presents:

Bridging the Gap 

New Voices from Al Cham

PUTTING THE CAMERA INTO THE HANDS OF THE LEARNERS, GIVING THEM THE POWER TO DEPICT THE REALITIES OF THEIR LIVES, BOTH AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS GROUPS.

ABC Gallery is proud to present Bridging the Gap, an exhibition of photographs taken in Syria by Iraqi, Syrian and Palestinian teenagers. The exhibition is part of the refocus project, a grassroots organisation which runs participatory photography courses for minority groups and marginalised people.

Bridging the gap explores the power of photography as an alternative route to social change. The photographs transmit values and understanding belonging to the people involved – not those which are imposed upon them to create an outside view of their situation.

Part of the ABC Gallery series of exhibitions promoting artists, photographers and film makers from, working in, or inspired by the Arab world.
