The Pioneers
Photography Exhibition by Garfield McKenzie www.geephotography.co.uk
At St Pauls Learning Centre – Glen’s Café https://www.stpaulslc.co.uk/
All through October until December 2020
The set of portraits in this exhibition make visible a generation of intrepid individuals, who left their homeland to make the journey to a new life. These elders paved the way for the generations of black British communities living in the UK today. Bristol-based artist and photographer Garfield McKenzie has documented these pioneers as a way to pay respect and show admiration.
