'Conwy Portraits' a Culture Centre Commission

The ‘People of Conwy’ project has been commissioned by Conwy County Council and has taken place during the building of Conwy Culture Centre in North Wales. In 2018-19 a touring roadshow invited people from all over Conwy County to share stories about people who stood out in their communities. This resulted in Graham Hembrough producing a set of photographs that will showcase some of these people interviewed by the project presented alongside short extracts of audio. The portraits have been photographed in places that relate to them and the interviews they gave. These can be seen when the Culture Centre opens from December 2019.
