#38: Offline Journal Newsletter : July '22
The latest on photography exhibitions & events around Wales
Hello again
With the next issue #009 of Offline Journal busy in production for its October launch, I’m enjoying the process of interviewing various photographers for what promises to be yet another packed 40-page issue!
Subscriptions are now available to secure your copy of each of the next two issues via www.offline.wales/subscribe - with or without supplements.
A couple of shout-outs for exhibitions showing in Wales this week…
It’s great to see Ffotogaleri y Gofeb open again with a new exhibition ‘A WHISPER STIRS THE SILENCE’ by John Clow on the walls (see exhibition listings below). A little gem of a indie photography gallery in Ceredigion well worth visiting.
If you’re in North Wales, Tuesday sees the opening of Oriel Colwyn’s latest exhibition ‘THE LLŶN PENINSULA’ by Malcolm Glover.
Lastly, if you’re in South Wales, Ffoto Newport is hosting its next Private View this Friday 5th August at 5.30pm for the new exhibition ‘YN Y TIR’ by photographers Ffion Denman (featured in issue 008 of Offline Journal) and Matthew Harry.
Thanks
Brian
