Birmingham Photospace is a bunch of people volunteering their time because they want to establish a space for photography in the city. Earlier in the year they organised the Anything but Selfridges competition to find an image that “best represents the Birmingham we live and work in”. So long as it wasn’t of Selfridges.
On Saturday just gone they held their first public event, a Flashswap at the Vaad Gallery in the Custard Factory down in Digbeth. The premise of the event was that you brought some prints along that you were happy to swap and “hung” them in the gallery (there was Blu-Tak provided). In the early evening we went back and viewed the exhibition, then on the word we all went and placed a sticker against the prints that we wanted to take home with us. More – Flashswap event
