Feed your Mind: Curator’s Talk and Tour

Curator Anne McNeill held a special talk and tour of Nationhood: Memory and Hope.

This event celebrated the exhibition Nationhood: Memory and Hope and the diversity of the UK today.

Nationhood: Memory and Hope was a new exhibition during 2025 of powerful and poignant photography, a love letter to all that is good across the UK, showing how we each try and shape both our identities and communities to make the world a better place. The exhibition featured new work from acclaimed Ethiopian artist Aïda Muluneh and seven UK early career photographers.

This was Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture and Impressions Gallery commission, in partnership with Belfast Exposed, Ffotogallery in Cardiff, and Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow.
