The Burnley Pride of Place Project exhibition will feature photographs of Burnley by The Caravan Gallery along with an array of Burnley-related artworks and ephemera loaned and donated by the public. The exhibition will grow daily as visitors contribute to the display by bringing along their own items or participating in interactive activities such as sharing stories and memories of Burnley and adding memories, observations and notable landmarks to a large hand drawn People’s Map of Burnley.
Once the exhibition has closed, all exhibition contributions will be documented prior to being returned / available for collection later the following week.
To give you a flavour of what’s in store, take a look at this short BBC Midlands Today television clip of our Sandwell Pride of Place Project exhibition in a former Poundland shop in West Bromwich, commissioned by Multistory for Blast! Festival in 2019.
