Preview Event: Friday 21 February, 6 – 8pm

Twenty Five is an exhibition featuring the work of young people who participated in the Stills School programme last year.

At Stills School, process is key. Students don’t just learn how to turn light into images—they also embark on a journey of creative self-discovery. Along the way, they explore different genres of photography. Through experimentation, they transform ideas into images.

This exhibition highlights work from students at various stages of their artistic endeavours. Their pieces explore themes of connection—whether with ourselves, our four-legged companions, our work, or our surroundings. The works delve into rituals, from obsessive collecting to the comforting repetition of daily acts of care.

Every student in this exhibition began with the same cameras in the same room. What sets their work apart is the freedom to experiment and the time and space to play. We hope you enjoy the results!

Stills School 2024-25 is supported by the Walter Scott Giving Group and Thames & Hudson. ‘Twenty Five’ is kindly sponsored in-kind by Hahnemühle.
