SIMON MURPHY: Govanhill
21st October 2023 – 27th January 2024
Walk and Talk with Simon Murphy: Saturday 11th November, 2-3pm.
“This major exhibition of Simon Murphy’s photographic odyssey ‘Govanhill’ brings images from his long term project capturing the characters and the diversity of an area in the South Side of Glasgow – a place which is local, but international in the demographics of those who live there. A place which could, or should, be anywhere.
Govanhill is a point of arrival for many. Traditionally it has been a place where immigrants arrive in Glasgow and often move on from. Simon has been documenting people in this locality for several years with the resulting images giving an insight into one of Scotland’s most diverse areas. With a vibrant mix of cultures and ethnicities, it is estimated that 88 languages are spoken in the densely populated area of only 0.33 square miles. The work consists of street portraiture of individuals who live and pass through the area, shot in medium format black and white film.”
