Our Story, Our City
An exhibition exploring Bradford stories through photographs during the millennium and present day.
A new touring photo exhibition with Andy Vaines and Keyhan Modaressi Chahardehi, sharing Bradford’s stories from the Millennium to today.
Photographer Andy Vaines set himself the challenge of photographing the people of Bradford. Every day for the whole of 1999, a portrait was taken of the people of Bradford to record the population at the turn of the century and to mark the beginning of the new millennium. Taking at least one photo every day and covering every postcode of the district he wanted to try and capture a portrait of Bradford through the people that lived here.
Inspired by Andy’s original ‘Millennium People: Their City, Their Stories” exhibition and wanting to re-exhibit it during Bradford’s City of Culture year, Our Patch have commissioned young photographer and filmmaker Keyhan Modaressi to recreate Andy’s process and envision a new portrait of the Bradford district.
