Event: The Moonshore Photobook Meetup, 6th August 2023, St Leonards-on-Sea
The Moonshore Festival is a long weekend of photography events presented by Picnic.This years programme includes workshops, talks, exhibitions, and a photo-book meet-up. The festival begins with a launch event at the Sailing Club on St Leonards seafront with a chance to meet and learn more about what’s on offer. The Moonshore's name is pulled from the depths of local history, from Bulverhythe beach which under the right tide conditions reveals a hidden submarine forest from time to time. So this year's theme, most aptly for our first festival, is the sea. Bringing into focus the environment which has such a huge presence in St Leonards, Hastings, and East Sussex.
The workshops are free, and are aimed at early-career photographers, young adults and teenagers. Most will take place outside along the foreshore itself. The work created by the participants in these workshops will then be run as an exhibition along the upper promenade on the seafront.
