GATHERING*
Headrow House Event SpaceSaturday 28th September 12pm-6pm
*a group photography show by Miniclick mentoring group
After a year-long programme of group learning, sharing and encouraging, we’re excited to have the opportunity to come together and celebrate the supportive space we’ve created.
‘Gathering’ features our work as this year's cohort of photographers, each showcasing either new or in-progress projects. Come down and chat with us to hear more about our photography and our experience as a peer mentoring group.
We’ll be hosting an informal meet the artists hour, between 2pm-3pm as part of the show.
Thank you to Roz Doherty for facilitating this group and bringing us all together each month. Over the last year, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to have time with Photo Hub North, Lens Lab Project, Leeds Mind, and curator Angela Sheard. This dedicated time and playfulness have been essential to our creativity and relationships with our photography practices.
Come down and see what we’ve been up to!
Thanks,

Leeds Through The Lens
Collaborative project for Leeds Art Gallery and Arts & Minds NetworkOver the last couple of months I’ve had the pleasure of leading on ‘Leeds Through The Lens’ project for Leeds Art Gallery and Arts and Minds Network, celebrating Leeds and photography as part of Peter Mitchells ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ exhibition. And my goodness, I am so grateful. What an incredible group of people all with so much enthusiasm and creative energy. I’ve absolutely loved it from start to end.
Throughout the last two months we’ve been responding to Leeds as our subject, encouraging each other to look down, up and all around. We’ve studied storytelling, and discussed different ways of sharing our work… I’m currently tying up the final touches to our publication ‘About Town’ that’ll celebrate the project and all the work created this summer. We’ll be hosting a celebration and book sharing later this Autumn, down at the gallery.
The group was open to any Arts & Minds members, and no experience of photography was needed. Participants described how they had found the experience:
- Wonderful people, great photography, welcoming and inclusive
- A collaborative, humane, personalised supportive group
- The project has been really interesting and inspiring, I’m tempted to start new photography projects of my own now
Thank you to community curator Clare for all the support (and biccies) throughout, Linda & Jane at Arts & Minds, Peter Mitchell for his time and tales, and to the whole group for showing me so much warmth and kindness week on week.
︎FRAMED PRINTS NOW AVAILABLE︎
Limited Edition Framed Prints
FOR SALEFancy a taking a snippet of Take a Seat home with you?
I’ve always loved sharing a bit of fun and playfulness through my work, and this was a key part of the curation of Take a Seat exhibition. This came down to the framing of each photo, for the most part, I found upcycled frames and responded to each style and material with an image from the series, in keeping with the chair photographed.
This means that the majority of the framed prints created for the show are limited one off prints, ready for you to take home. The others, I’m releasing a small edition of 10 per image.
Please see below whats still up for grabs. Thank you to everyone who has already made an order and purchased their favourite chairs during the exhibition. Please do get in touch via email if you’re interested - hannahbplatt@gmail.com
Thank you,
