ReFramed (reframed.uk) have been assigned a role within a national partnership of photo organisations who have been commissioned by Historic England as part of their work to regenerate ailing high streets all over England. Picturing England’s High Street is a three year project which will deliver six photographer-in-residence programmes at six high street locations across England, as well as artist mentoring and a digital nationwide mass participation project. We are keen to support our partners that will ensure opportunities are available for POC photographers and successful applicants will have the opportunity to be mentored as part of the project by the ReFramed team.
