We are extremely pleased to be presenting the OPEN 20/21 in the Gallery Café at St. Margaret’s House in Bethnal Green, London, from 01 September – 10 October 2021!

St. Margaret’s House is a unique charity supporting creativity and wellbeing in the heart of Bethnal Green. You may remember that we exhibited GIRL TOWN there as part of London Photomonth in 2016 and we’re absolutely delighted to be returning to such a fantastic community place.

Shutter Hub OPEN 20/21 brings together international photographers in a selected exhibition and promotes the future of photography through diverse and creative imagery. It’s going to be wonderful to see glorious Newspaper Club prints filling the walls at the Gallery Café!

We’ve teamed up with Newspaper Club to produce this exhibition and we’re really excited to see it come together. We’ll fill the space with our best newspaper print exhibition – punchy and democratic, transforming the gallery and covering the walls at St. Margaret House’s Gallery Café.

As always there’ll be an award for the ‘Best in Show’, where viewers will get to vote for their favourite photograph from the exhibition. This is much more about audience participation that it is about big prizes, but it’s a fun and engaging way to involve more people in responding to photography.
