A combined photographic and film exhibition exploring life within an Emmaus Community.
Inside Emmaus : Online Zoom Discussion Event - 6th May 2021 7pm - Book free tickets here
This panel discussion brings together AmberSide artists and members of the Emmaus community to discuss the work and to respond to a live Q&A.
Emmaus is a national charity which supports people (Emmaus companions) who have experienced homelessness by providing them with a home and meaningful work in a community setting.With support from Virgin Money Foundation, AmberSide developed a documentary engagement with the Emmaus Community (one of 29 in the UK) based in South Shields. During 2019, documentary photographer Paul Alexander Knox worked with companions teaching camera skills and documentary photography, leading to the creation of their own photographic exhibition. Paul went on to create an original body of photographic work, documenting the everyday life and spirit of an Emmaus Community. In addition, Amber Films created an original documentary film to accompany the photographic work, featuring detailed and emotive interviews with staff and companions.
The result of this engagement is now a combined photographic and film exhibition available online via Issuu. This panel discussion is the conclusion of the digital exhibition. Join us via Zoom on Thursday 6th May at 7pm. Tickets are limited to 100 for this event.
