- Hear from three of the One Planet City photographers talking about their commissioned photo essays: Syd Shelton, Amanda Jackson & Jonathan Goldberg

- Join one of two possible workshops:

• How do professional photographers respond to commissioning briefs and how does this differ from generating their own work ?
• How do we live more environmentally in the city according to One Planet Living principles, what differences can we make in our own lives?

You will be able to sign up to the workshop you are most interested in on arrival.

One Planet City

As part of the One Planet City photography project, FotoDocument, Bioregional and Photoworks, commissioned ten professional photographers to each create a photo essay on one of the ten principles of One Planet Living.

The work has been on display in twelve diverse public locations around the city since October 2014, when it launched as part of the Brighton Photo Biennial. Venues include Hove Promenade, Brighton Railway Station, Brighton Open Market, Amex Community Football Stadium.

Competition

The exhibitions have more recently been accompanied by a public competition, open to all Brighton & Hove residents, until 31 May. All entries are displayed on the FotoDocument website and show One Planet Living principles interpreted by local residents. The winners of the competition will be announced at this event. There's still time to apply before 31 May!
