Our Photography students will showcase their creative talents at a hate crime exhibition at Bolton Central Library from January 26 to February 19.
The photographs show the students’ interpretations of hate crime and the impact it can have on individuals affected.
The exhibition is in support of Bolton’s approach to tackling and preventing all types of hate crime and encouraging victims and witnesses to report hate crime.
Jim Williams Senior Lecturer on BA (Hons) Photography at the university said: “We are delighted to have been able to give our students the opportunity to work on this project. It gave them valuable experience of working on a live brief with a subject matter of such importance and relevance in today’s society.”
