The Valleys Archive Presentation
Event Information
Description
Join us for this free event as Paul Cabuts (Honorary Research Fellow at Amgueddfa Cymru/National Museum Wales & Photographer) discuss' The Valleys Project - highlighting 10 of his favourite images from the series.
Ffotogallery originally established the Valleys Project in 1984, as a unique undertaking to document what has to be one of the most beautiful yet industrialized landscapes of Northern Europe. During the five years of the project to 1990, it has drawn together the work of photographers resident in Wales and from further afield, to create a contemporary visual record and social commentary encompassing a broad geographical spread of the South Wales Valleys.
This is the first in a series of Talks looking at Photography as part of Ffotogallery's year long 40th Birthday celebration: 40:40 Vision.
