1000+ Self Portrait Images on the Library of Birmingham's Digital Gallery.
Public studio sessions were run in the city centre
at the old Central Library and in the Cathedral
grounds and in Edgbaston, Handsworth, Ward
End, Castle Vale and the Jewellery Quarter. Two extra days where devoted to visit house bound people using the Library Services at Home.
The
result is a dynamic archive of images that shows
the city’s incredible diversity and reflects its
growth and development in a fascinating and
positive light in the 21st Century. So, as well as
representing and celebrating the cultural
diversity of modern Birmingham, these images
give an insight into modern life.
Today we started to round of the project with three days of further Self Portrait Sessions in the New Library offering the usual free print plus the images going live on display in the libraries' welcome screen.
