Across staged portraiture and documentary images, collage, performance, historical and analogue processes, the works in this exhibition explore identity and community, urban and domestic space, migration, memory and the politics of everyday life.

While women make up 75% of photography graduates, only 15% of professional photographers are women – and they earn 40% less than their male counterparts.

Luna is a grassroots network supporting and amplifying women, women-identifying and non-binary people working with photography in Birmingham and the West Midlands.

Monika was back at Lighthouse Church last weekend to facilitate a beautiful afternoon of slowing down, creating, and connecting with clay. The workshop brought women together to explore creativity, mindfulness, and wellbeing through gentle, hands-on making. Through clay, texture, and conversation, participants found space to pause, express themselves, and simply be present.⠀
⠀
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Monika Lenard for holding such a warm, supportive, and nurturing space.⠀

ARCAI aka @kaichareunsy gave a phenomenal performance last week 🇱🇦🥁

Was such a special set at @centrala_space opening for @ganna_music - a spellbinding fusion of live drums, khaen (traditional Laotian mouth organ) and field recordings from the dense jungles and busy towns of Laos.

Thanks to everyone who came! You can support Kai’s music via Bandcamp - highly recommend his debut EP ‘Naak Dan Naak Don’ 🎶

But we still have a killer line up of three local heroes - slacker indie from @wiiinceband , demonic Norwegian synth pop from @the.real.jobs , and the twisted math rock of @luxurynansmell . Still a few tickets left, see you later!⠀

Back in August we hosted the premier of “Queercore in the Second City”, a documentary exploring Birmingham’s thriving Queer Hardcore (queercore) scene, a subculture rooted in punk’s DIY ethos, community building, and queer resistance. Produced by Centrala and commissioned by the Royal Geographical Society, the film captures a unique moment in time where music, identity, and place collide.

This week we’re welcoming back some of the key players, with exec producer Lexi bringing us a night of Europe’s most exciting queer hardcore TONIGHT, followed by Luxury Nan Smell this Friday performing alongside some of their local faves Rooted, Wiiince and The Real Jobs

This time last week I had the total honour of chairing a discussion between four fantastic women for @luna.photobham's Care & Defiance panel event.

Carole Evans @fibre_and_light
Founder of @postphotocollective

Jemella Ukaegbu @jemellabw Director of UK Black Female Photographers Community @ukbftog

@nicola_shipley
Director of GRAIN @grain_projects

Safa Basharat Malik @safabmalik
Award-winning photographer and Luna Open Call exhibiting artist

As you can see from these pictures, we did have a laugh (and I may at one point have urged everyone to chuck their smartphones in the canal) but we talked about some really serious shit too - from professional confidence to who makes decisions at the top table, the myth of genius, the threat of online misogyny and the ethics of representation...

The audience was also incredible, continuing the conversation with really thoughtful comments and questions. We could have kept chatting for hours.

The exhibition Care & Defiance, presented by Luna in collaboration with Centrala, runs until 27 May at @centrala_space Digbeth, Birmingham.

Here’s a peek behind the scenes at the install for our current exhibition, ‘Care and Defiance’ in collaboration with @luna.photobham ⠀
⠀
Our new Art Programme Coordinator Hasna got hands on last week helping the collective install their inaugural print exhibition, on show until 27th May. Taking inspiration from bell hooks in viewing love as an act of resistance, ‘Care & Defiance’ considers the female photographic gaze in all its multiplicity.⠀

TONIGHT we’re teaming up with @kikimorarecordsto bring Ukrainian singer, composer, and producer @ganna_music to Centrala. ⠀
⠀
Since 2013, GANNA has been researching and reinterpreting the ancient folklore of her homeland. Today, she is considered “one of the most impressive singers and musicians on the European jazz and world music scene” (Ö1 Radio, AT). Inspired by research travels to various regions of Ukraine, she breathes new life into old songs and combines them with experimental, electronic, and improvised music.
