FormatFestival

FORMAT Festival - East Meets West - Anand exhibits Supnaa work. ( Arts Council England funded)

As part of GRAIN photo hubs Masterclasses we then invited to showcase work as a collective group called East Meets West at Derby Quad and eagle Market for FORMAT ‘19. I decided to showcase the SUPNAA : Dreams of our Fathers work for the two venues in Derby. The FORMAT festival has a great pedigree and any Fine Art Documentary Photographer worth their salt will end up trying to exhibit in this national festival of photography to be part of it felt fantastic. There was a large number of people who came along to the festival for the launch event. This is always wonderful to show work to colleagues and exhibit with them as most of the time as a photographer you end up working in solitude.
