Just For Fun: Market Day

A temporary exhibition, sharing and ongoing archive
Unit 31, Leeds Kirkgate Market
Thurs 14th, Fri 15th & Sat 16th May
Next month I’ll be spending three full days in my favourite Leeds spot. Leeds Kirkgate Market.



I’ve recently been looking for ways to connect my work more directly with the community, and there’s no better place for it. It’ll be a casual, temporary exhibition/sharing housed in the heart of the market.

Think of it as a conversation, a work in progress and in some ways research.

Alongside my own work, I’ll be sharing photos from my Just For Fun network - where each month I set a new brief for the community to respond to, so I’m excited to share their work more broadly too.

Over the three days, they’ll be daily prompts for you to engage with, encouraging you to see the market differently and contribute to this month’s Just For Fun brief.

Come and chat with me, tell me what you love most about Leeds, the Market or any old gubbins.

I’ll be hosting this event as part of Situation Leeds Festival, which is happening throughout May and June - celebrating all things contemporary art in the public realm. Big thanks to the steering group for creating an opportunity like this, for all your time and for connecting me to the market team!

I’ll be nesting in Unit 31, Row 3 - it’s a gorgeous corner unit opposite Karpaty bakery…conveniently! See you there?

In the meantime, you can find out more about the festival at situationleeds.org/festival - which is supported by Yorkshire Visual Arts Network and Hyde Park Book Club!

Creative Printed Workshops

What I can offer...
As a photographer, I’ve always had such a rich interest in print, visual storytelling, and the endless scope for sharing.

Over the years, I’ve honed a range of different workshops to encourage others to make in this way. Previous sessions have included photowalks, collage, zine-making, sequencing exercises and hands-on page design, often incorporating playful approaches for younger participants.

I can tailor each project to the group. The workshop format is changeable based on timelines, settings and budget. I've delivered long-term projects spanning weeks or months, and more casual drop-in sessions for exhibitions and events.

I'll bring all the materials (including my photocopier) and enthusiasm to support the group creatively, inspiring them to share stories in new ways.

I’ve worked with arts organisations and institutes delivering workshops for all ages and abilities. I have worked with young people, older adults, neurodiverse participants, people experiencing isolation or mental health challenges, and groups with mixed abilities and cultural backgrounds. I focus on thoughtful, inclusive workshop design, pacing sessions carefully, and creating space for personal stories to unfold in their own way.

If you're considering a similar project, please do get in touch with me at hannahbplatt@gmail.com where we can chat through your project aims and together create a really meaningful project and outcome for your group.

Previously, I've worked with Leeds Art Gallery, Henry Moore Institute, Swarthmore Education Centre, Burmantofts Senior Action Group, East Street Arts, Leeds Arts and Minds, Bradford 2025 City of Culture, The Turner Prize Awards, Take it Easy Lab, Leeds Arts University, Cheshire City Council, and The Art House.



Photo Diary

Autumn Leaves, September-November 2025


Welsh, 

Hand-stitched 1/1 photobook for my love - October 2025
I scratched an itch and made another book! Just the one. 

Hand-stitched to hold another year's worth of photos from trips to Wales with Rory. It felt right to wrap it in Wales itself. A rough, scribbly map I drew and carefully knifed out. I love that when flat, it looks like two people dancing and holding hands. I chose turquoise blue, which pops up throughout my photos there.

It's hard to photograph on a rainy afternoon, but it feels good to have it on the shelf.
