Sian Roberts has a selection of photographs in the BME photography project part of Life Through The Lens: exhibition snapshots of Salford’s past. The new LifeTimes exhibition at Salford Museum & Art Gallery is showing some of the hidden gems from the photographic collections held at the museum. From rat catchers to street parties, the photos have been selected to celebrate 10 years of the LifeTimes project. The Exibition runs until Autumn 2011, please check with venue for exact closing date.
Along with other photographers, Sian's photographs were commissioned by Salford City Council and Salford Primary Care Trust. They were used for a project to celebrate older people’s contribution to the city. The images show portraits of residents from Salford’s diverse BME (black and minority ethic)communities and their experiences of growing older in Salford. The images bring ‘Life Through The Lens’ up to date by showing the changes within the community of Salford.
Sian is a member of Fusion which is Start in Salford’s constituted group. Fusion allows artists the chance to work individually and collaboratively on commissions which generate income for the group’s development, equipment and training.
