Ben Harriott | Mill Allotments

EXHIBITION: 1 - 24 November 2018
OPEN EVENING: Wednesday 7 November, 4-7pm
OPENING TIMES: Thursday - Saturday, 11am-6pm

Join us for an exhibition of photographs and audio recordings from Mill Allotments in Radford. Over the summer, photographer Ben Harriott has worked with the Mill Allotment Holders Association to capture gardeners’ memories and experiences, some of whom have been working this patch of land for over 50 years . This is the first stage of a collaboration with Mill Allotments, documenting allotments and the impact they have on local communities at a time when city allotment rents are set to rise steeply and the culture of urban growing is shifting.

Primary would like to thank the Mill Allotment Holders Association and all of the gardeners involved in the project.

This project is part of the Making Place: Food & Growing season. Our autumn season focuses on food and growing, looking at the connections between local food production, food justice, sustainability, and global politics, through shared meals, a book launch, and a project with a local allotment association.
