On Saturday 8 March we hosted a free event at Emmanuel’s Yard for International Women’s Day. Tickets sold out extremely quickly, for the second year in a row, and everyone who attended was invited to have their portrait taken by local photographer Anna Chrystal Stephens. These were combined to create our Trowbridge Community Photograph, celebrating womanhood and community in Trowbridge.
We’d like to say a big thank you to Anna for capturing these women so perfectly, and to Emmanuel’s Yard for hosting our event while our building is closed for refurbishment.
The event also included: delicious Lebanese cuisine from chef Wafaa Powell; a photographic exhibit from photographer Abbie Assadi; and the screening of ‘Tish’, a documentary which shines the light on photographer Tish Murtha, programmed by film curator Lorena Pino Montilla.
