ABOUT:

Connor Guy is a photographer from Newcastle upon Tyne, but is currently based in South Wales. His practice sits in the genre of traditional documentary photography and he is concerned with highlighting class struggle and challenging the taboo of conversations surrounding class. This is underpinned by often working in overwhelmingly working class areas and spaces, as a method of representation from a person that understands and has experienced class struggle. He is currently completing his BA in documentary photography at the University of South Wales.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
