THURS 14 JULY / 6–8PM / OPEN EYE GALLERY
BOOK HERE
Join us for the launch of LOOK Photo Biennial 2022, with plant based beets by Dance for Plants!
LOOK Photo Biennial returns for the first time since 2019. The biennial acts as a stage for sharing ideas in venues and locations across the North West.
The LOOK Photo Biennial 2022 theme is ‘Climate’, building on from Open Eye Gallery’s ten week long exploratory LOOK Climate Lab which took place between January and March 2022. For the lab, Open Eye Gallery invited researchers, artists, academics and visionaries to take over the gallery and use it as a lab space, showing work in progress, inviting the public to engage via workshops, and to talk through ideas to tackle climate change. LOOK Photo Biennial 2022: Climate is formed from partnership projects and ideas that began as micro commissions, community projects and research ideas during these LOOK Climate Labs. It aims to explore the agency of people within a sometimes overwhelming climate emergency, maximising the accessibility of photography to transcend languages, borders and cultures.
LOOK 22 takes place across various sites in Liverpool and the North West including: RHS Gardens Bridgewater (Manchester), New Adelphi Gallery (University of Salford) and World of Glass (St Helens). LOOK will also exist in public spaces across the North West, including charity shops across Chester and volunteer garden spaces across the Liverpool City Region.
This event will follow Visual Studies X Open Eye Gallery Roundtable, read more here.
