Shifting Perspectives
Shifting Perspectives is now in its sixth year and with each year the exhibition gets bigger and better as we've now gone international. Shifting Perspectives has been able to continue to exhibit throughout the UK and internationally through an extension of the support from GSK which will run through to 2013. Thank you, GSK!
March saw the 365 project shown throughout Colombia with the support of Fundown Caribe and August sees us taking the exhibition to Hong Kong and Istanbul, Turkey.
As well as travelling the world, we also have a number of UK venues you can visit Shifting Perspectives at.

Since 2005, Shifting Perspectives has brought together the work of twelve photographers who have a personal connection with Down's syndrome.
This exhibition examines the lives of people of all ages with Down's syndrome, their connection to the photographers and the changes throughout the course of their lives.
In many ways the work reflects a contemporary trend in documentary photography where practitioners are no longer purely objective observers with little understanding of the complexity of the situation; they are personally involved with their subject matter.
We would like to extend a special thanks to Big Yellow Twickenham for donating a storage room for Shifting Perspectives. With the amount of work we now have, we were being overrun by images when not in show so we are incredibly grateful for their generosity and support!
