ABOUT:

Jennifer Forward-Hayter is a photographer, currently voted one of the best young photographers in Europe. Primarily focused on documentary and social performance, her work records modern history, particularly showcasing communities who are traditionally alienated by the art community.

Jennifer was born in Dorset, and is the only member of her family who can’t drive a tractor. Her early arts education consisted of reading Sunday magazines pulled from bins, and postcards. This mass art rhetoric brought foundations of history, TV, pop culture, philosophy, story-telling and journalism into Jennifer’s own work. She graduated from Middlesex University, and wants to be John Berger.

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.
