MAP6 are delighted to be opening a new exhibition at the Oriel Colwyn gallery in North Wales. Between Friday 9th January to February 7th we will be showing an extended version of our series Wales: The Landscape project. Alongside the opening of the exhibition four members of the collective will be hosting a special talk event to share stories, insights and processes about the project on show and our collective approach to working together.
WALES: The Landscape Project explores different aspects of the Welsh landscape. Nine photographers, working in pairs, and one group of three, responded to four set themes: The Dark Sublime, Parallel Time, Hiraeth (a deep longing for home), and Chapels & Quarries. This involved making images in the same location and coming together at the end to create a joint narrative through editing, from which each group created a zine published as a set. MAP6 later gained another member who also went to Wales, creating the project Battery in the Mountain, which explores how her work converges with the zines project.
The exhibition opens on Friday 9th January with a special Talk Photo event with four members of the collective - For tickets (free or donation based) please see details in the EVENTS section of the Oriel Colwyn Gallery website.
