The Big Issue’s 20th anniversary photography exhibition, Birmingham
A specially commissioned series of images by renowned photographer Paul Wenham-Clarke will be on display from 8th September in St Martin-in-the-Bull Ring Church, Birmingham, marking The Big Issue’s 20th anniversary. Entitled ‘Hard Times’ and featuring portraits of Big Issue vendors, the exhibition has already received the photography world’s highest accolade – a Gold Award from the Association of Photographers. Paul, who was brought up in Moseley, has photographed a series of Big Issue vendors in their “homes” – be they squats, hostels, caravans or nothing more than the street. Shedding light on the hidden lives of Britain’s homeless, the portraits offer an insight into their background, their family situation, the challenges they face while selling the magazine, their achievements and aspirations. The exhibition will go on display at St Martin-in-the-Bull Ring Church, Birmingham and will run until the end of September. Throughout 2011 The Big Issue will be celebrating a remarkable 20 years in business. 20 years in which it has helped thousands of homeless people to help themselves, in the process creating a world renowned blueprint for social change. During this time The Big Issue has also become an international publishing phenomenon and one of the best known brands in the UK.
