What do you see?
The Foxton Centre’s community participatory photography competition and exhibition using only disposable cameras with the aim of connecting the participant and viewer through witnessing the daily lives, loves, challenges, and passions of Preston people to get closer to truly understanding their lives – and perhaps be moved to bring about a closer community.

Previous exhibitions of selected photographs have taken place at: Dice & Donuts, 6 Butler Street, Preston, 15 June – 11 July The Foxton Centre, 18 July – 15 August The Foxton Festival, 6 August.
