In this edition of Bostin News, we’ve taken the opportunity to spotlight the multitude of projects that have centred around individuals, a theme that has been central to the recent endeavours of local artists and creatives over the past year.
Creative Black Country is rooted in the local community and consistently places people at the core of our projects through collaborative efforts and thoughtful design. In the past year, a diverse array of portrait projects has emerged, firmly placing individuals and their ‘fizzogs’ as the primary focal points.
Perhaps prompted by the aftermath of the pandemic and our shared unusual experiences, the surge in photography projects has underscored a growing desire for connection.Within this trend, we’ve relished observing the distinct approaches and artistic styles applied to portraiture, each reflecting how people wish to be seen.
Our commissioned creatives have cultivated meaningful connections across various communities, harnessing outdoor spaces and unconventional venues to facilitate workshops and sessions. We are thrilled to witness the ingenious ways in which people come together in unexpected locations, where the realms of creativity, art, and performance seamlessly converge.
