It’s been a busy and exciting month of the Jerwood/Photoworks Award 5 exhibition with the two incredible projects Sayuri Ichida’s 空席 (Kūseki) and Roman Manfedi’s TRA.

Ichida’s work, 空席 (Kūseki), meaning “empty seats”, addresses Japan’s rapid population decline, with rural communities among the hardest hit. As birth rates fall and towns shrink, schools, once central to daily life, stand empty, their presence quietly fading from the landscape. The presentation of Kūseki spans across photography, collage, sound and sculptural installation in an effort to respond to this ongoing disappearance.

TRA by Roman Manfredi draws inspiration from the ancient Neapolitan figure of the femminiello, a revered presence considered spiritually favourable, the work pays homage to locals who live outside binary gender expectations. The word tra, Italian for a state of being between, among and within, speaks in this work to an energetic space where masculine and feminine converge and dissolve

The exhibition continues until the 20th of December. Opening hours: Tue-Sat, 10am-5.30pm and Sunday 12-5pm.

Glasgow-based artist Elina Bry Elina Bry undertook a month-long residency in May/June at Kulttuurikauppila Art Centre, arranged through Photo North - Northern Photographic Centre – Northern Photographic Centre in Oulu as part of their ‘Adaptation’ project.

Bry’s work explores the relationship between humans and nature in a time of climate anxiety and climate change. During the residency she chose to ‘slow travel’, journeying to Northern Finland by land and sea. The resulting work, shown in the exhibition Adaptation, addresses the topic through moving image, sound and performance. Bry also aims to bring the voices and feelings of local people about nature to a wider audience. As she is half-Finnish, she has a strong connection to Finnish nature, which she has also explored in her previous work, Is The Earth Chronically Ill? (2023–2024).

The exhibition ‘Adaptation – Time Is Not On Our Side: Towards Possible Futures’ will be on show at Photo North from 16 October, featuring Bry’s work made during this time alongside other artists.

Street Level are partners in the project alongside the University of Oulu’s Oulanka Research Station, the University of Oulu’s Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory, the KulttuuriKauppila Art Centre Art Center, and the Oulu Art Museum.

New Narratives – Pakistan is currently showing at Hillhead Library, Glasgow until the 11th October 2026.

This exhibition showcases new work from Pakistan, made by artists Asad Ali, Hira Noor, Ume Laila and Waleed Zafar. The artists use photography in adopting socially engaged processes and exploring narratives of community, public space, identity and diaspora. Their work questions the archive, community and public space.

Based in Lahore, Pakistan, the artists took part in an international exchange in 2023/24 devised and produced by photography organisations GRAIN Projects, UK and Tasweerghar, Pakistan, part of the British Council Pakistan British Council Arts Residency Programme. The exhibited works are a selection curated from the projects started during the residency and expanded following dialogue, mentoring and an R&D visit to the UK, which included Glasgow.

The exhibition has been programmed to mark 20 years since Glasgow City Council twinned with Lahore.

Visitors of the Day: Anna Rickard's and Ellie Jane

Anna dropped by to show us this wonderful comic she made about her visit the Photoautomat in Trongate 103. The comic depicts herself and Ellie Jane coming to get their photo taken at the booth to celebrate Ellie handing in her final MSc Dissertation and the wonderful people that meet. But we won't ruin the story too much, see the comic here https://www.instagram.com/p/DddiWdiDUbM/?img_index=2

Ellie's MSc dissertation from the Uni of Glasgow was written about Youth Engagement with spaces of culture, so a very fitting subject in relation to the Photo Booth and the comic. Certainly a full circle moment!

Thank you both for sharing this story with us!
