The first of a series of 3 shows opens on Friday 12th October at Great Northern opposite the Box Office of AMC cinemas Manchester (just by the Hilton Hotel), with a private view from 5.30pm-7.30pm - which all Redeye members are welcome to attend.

Hereford Photography Festival

Photography played a crucial role in making Apartheid visual to a wider public outside South Africa. This photography was pre-dominantly photo-journalistic in style and portrayed the injustices of the oppressive political system. Today, in the post apartheid era, photography is continuing to play a central role in defining South Africa, now with a written constitution and voting rights for all. South African Voices is a one-day conference on contemporary photography in South Africa. This is the central event in the current 2007 Hereford festival which is always worth a visit.
