FORMAT24: JUBILEE CITY – DERBY PUNK IN THE 1970s |
| FREE ADMISSION Exhibition continues at QUAD until 30 June! Jubilee City – Derby Punk in the 1970s is a heritage focused exhibition that draws upon the archive of artist Aaron Williamson, whilst also incorporating ephemera and documents arising from a call-out to individuals who were active on Derby’s punk scene between 1976 – 1979. The exhibition is focussed not on the actual music that punk threw up, but on the experience and productions of the punk milieu and audience itself in and around Derby, the borough that was granted the status of a city during the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, (a national celebration that was the target of much punk derision). |
FREE ADMISSION Exhibition continues at QUAD until 30 June!
Photography often facilitates a journey through time. At a more fundamental level, photography allows us to capture people, places and objects that might have been lost to history, giving us an unprecedented ability to reconstruct images of the past and project our memories far into the future. Photography is taking a more active role throughout history. Future Now looks to connect with the future through the imagination of photography.
Featured Artists: Deacon Lui, Kota Ishida, Melanie King and Sergey Novikov

FORMAT24 FUTURE TENSE Artist spotlight: Tanya Habjouqa |
Born in Jordan and raised between Texas and the Middle East, Habjouqa fuses a mordant sense of irony with unstinting, forensic interrogations of the implications of geopolitical conflict on human lives. Tanya Habjouqa’s artistic practice explores manifestations of trauma upon the landscape, as well as intimate spaces and interpersonal relationships by means of imagery, archival material, ethnographic interviews, and handwritten text.
Most recently Tanya’s images have been featured in The Wall Street Journal depicting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As a leading advocate for new methods in photojournalism and documentary practice, she is the co-founder of the Middle East visual storyteller organization, Ruwa, and also a mentor in the Arab Documentary Program; an organisation that provides marginalized narrative-creators and their narratives with the space and skills to refine and tell stories.
