What

The goal of the London Villages Project is to provide a photographic record of London now.

Our purpose is to create a body of work that is identifiable as a unique contribution to the record of London–its multiplicity of communities, its miscellany of histories, its medley of architecture; its boundaries real and imagined; its current creation, its reference to memory.

The London Villages Project was an activity of London Independent Photography.

How

To achieve this we imagined London as a collection of villages or communities–a part of London, a small enclave, street, square, terrace, neck of the woods. Take a place that defines itself; a place apart; a community together; an emotional centre; home.

Who

The London Villages Project was created by over two hundred members of London Independent Photography.

When

The London Villages Project was created between March 1st 2011 and February 29th 2012.

And

The Project is now in its ‘post-production’ phase.

Images from each photographer’s personal project will be displayed on the LVP site; a publication of the project will be published in August 2012 to accompany a month-long exhibition of the work of each photographer; all images from the year-long shoot will be archived for public access and a ‘banner’ exhibition will tour London later in the year.
