Postcards from Great Britain is a new largescale project from Shutter Hub which invites photographers to share their visions of British culture through photographic images and create conversations and exchange.
In a significant time in European history this project sets out to document and share British culture, spanning all genres of photography, and collating images which include social, political, historical, traditional and observational responses.
How do you see Great Britain? Culture, landscape, industry, heritage, people, places, fish and chips and cups of tea? However you see it – if the images have been images taken between 01 January 2016 – 31 December 2020 we want to see them and share them.
Exhibitions will be held in locations across Europe, with related events, showcasing thousands of postcard-sized images. Every image submitted to Postcards from Great Britain will be collated into a digital and print catalogue, to be housed in libraries and archives around the world, and 100 images will be selected for a collectable postcard set.
We’ll be creating pop-up exhibitions across Europe in a variety of public spaces, cafes, shops, hotels, design studios, health centres, museums, etc., where we’ll show selected images. We’re aiming to show as many images as possible, in different locations across Europe. Some venues will hold a few hundred images, whilst others can hold thousands.
Every image that is submitted will be collated into a collection catalogue which will form a powerful social archive and will be housed in libraries and archives around the world.
100 images will be selected and produced as a collectable postcard set.
Themed features of curated collections of images will be shared on the Shutter Hub website, and selected contributors will be invited to be interviewed for solo articles for the Shutter Hub blog on their work and response to the project and influences. We’ll also be promoting the project, the exhibitions and the archive extensively on social media and in the press.
