‘inEquality’ theme is timely and important:
* Despite rising living standards, economic inequality remains stark, with the wealthiest 1% owning about 45% of global wealth, compared to 33% in 1995
* The UK gender pay gap was still over 13% in 2024
* Life expectancy varies by almost 10 years between rich and poor areas of England
* Globally, 108 million people today are displaced by conflict, compared to 33 million in the 1990s
At the Silk Mill, students from the Photography & Print BA at Boomsatsuma, Bristol will exhibit a selection of pieces of work co-curated by Amin Yousefi (Photo|Frome’s 2023 student awards winner). This exhibition will represent varied responses looking to interrogate the festival’s theme of inEquality
