A Thousand Small Stories is the first retrospective of Eileen Perrier, bringing together three decades of photographs of the artist work. Since the 1990s, Perrier has used photographic portraiture to forge connections between people, acknowledging the profound value of being seen. Working with and within communities, she brings her sitters together around shared experiences of kinship, interests or place
In addition to her photography, Perrier has been practising yoga from the age of 17, becoming a qualified yoga teacher in 2022. Open to all levels, this class will encourage reflection and mindfulness, offering a unique way to experience Perrier's exhibition.
Please bring along a yoga mat to use in the session. Tea and coffee will be served after.
The ticket price for this event is £10. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If this ticket price is unaffordable for you please get in touch with Harriet at harriet@autograph-abp.co.uk about free ticketing options.
