    Art

    6 Mar 2012 to 21 Apr 2012

    Each year the MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography students from the London College of Communications work on a project documenting the Elephant and Castle. They are recording and responding to the area as it undergoes the profound challenges of regeneration. They are given a simple theme and encouraged to find engaging ways of producing documentary photographs. This exhibition emerged from students working on the twin themes of 'work' and 'economy'. Amongst a wide selection of photographs and approaches to documentary are images of shoppers and market traders, of the contents of fridges and the occupants of new apartment blocks, of retired pensioners and development sites.
