Redeye’s Helena Lee has been working with the Carbon Literacy Project to put together a course for photographers to gain accreditation as a Climate Aware Photographer. We believe this course is the first of its kind and it is open to photographers of any genre, experience and background. It's a space for you to learn more about the effects of climate change worldwide, consider your impact on the environment and discuss ways to commit to reducing your carbon footprint within your photographic work and your lifestyle.

Exhibitions
The University of Salford Art Collection presents Craig Easton: Is Anybody Listening? a touring exhibition at galleries across the Northwest. Craig Easton: Is Anybody Listening? is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, showcasing two award-winning series of photographs, alongside an engagement programme for young people called Our Time, Our Place.
Open Eye Gallery is delighted to present A Place of Our Own, a group exhibition which brings together the local stories of people across Walton (North Liverpool), Prescot (Knowsley) and Chester town centre, running from September to December 2023.
Drawing from and subverting the conventions of Mughal and Indian miniature paintings from ancient to pre-colonial times, Arpita Shah’s Modern Muse visually and conceptually explores the ever-shifting identities and representations of South Asian women in contemporary Britain. The portraits give an insight into the perspectives of what it means to be a young British and Asian woman. Shah examines the intersections of culture and identity, drawing on the women’s lived experiences and her own journey and life. Commissioned by GRAIN projects, this body of work has not been shown in London before.
This year sees the return of photographer and Redeye member, Robert Watson, to Manchester’s iconic Central Library for a nearly four month exhibition, running from October 2023 to January 2024. Robert Watson is an internationally exhibited, award winning photographer with work in private collections throughout the UK and Europe. His portfolio spans over two decades. Many of Watson’s photographs are shot on film; using his Hasselblad and Leica cameras to produce the documentary and portrait photography for which Watson is held in high regard.
Photocitizens brings together Undergraduate and Postgraduate photography students across the world to collaborate on a set brief. This year the brief is 'Place'. Over the next few months, there will be exhibitions around the world including Stoke-on-Trent, UK.
