Sahar Magic: A Photographic Exhibition

Curator Katy Vetch and Dreweatts present SAHAR, a photographic exhibition showing framed photographs taken by and through the eyes of children. The children have been taking part in workshops run by Sirkhane DARKROOM, which is situated in the Turkish city of Mardin, a few miles from the Syrian border. When the children first see an image appearing from the photographic paper in the dim light of the darkroom, they often use the Arabic word for magic: SAHAR.
