Venture Community photobook project

ACAVA’s project in partnership with the Venture Community Association was designed to provide local people in north Kensington with the opportunity to engage in a creative, active and social activity; getting people moving, thinking creatively, reducing social isolation and improving wellbeing. The photobook project ran for 10 weeks in which paula worked with 10 local people (18+) once a week to develop a body of work for photobook publishing.

The project was free to attend and open to all skill levels, and took place at the Venture Centre (photobook workshops) and in the local area of Westbourne Grove /Golborne Rd (street photography)
