Living Pictures with Ella Sadie Guthrie, Phyllipa Scammell & Tom Lovelace

Living Pictures is an evening of poetry, music and dance that reimagines how we encounter the photographic image. Presented in collaboration with and aligned with our P5 Photo-Poetry Pamphlet Series, Living Pictures brings together Ella Sadie Guthrie, Phyllipa Scammell & Tom Lovelace. The artists will explore these intersections through spoken word, music and movement.

At its core, Living Pictures is an invitation to move beyond passive viewing and into a more dynamic encounter with images. Expect moments of interruption, resonance and surprise, where photographs are not simply seen, but experienced.
