Stories are one of the most powerful forces in life. They bind together and they force us apart. They help us understand our own experience and they show us things that are new, unexpected and startling. This year members of London Independent Photography’s Central Group have taken the theme from a passage in The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy: “Little events, ordinary things, smashed and reconstituted. Imbued with new meaning. Suddenly they become the bleached bones of a story.” At the exhibition you will see storytelling in the form of photojournalism and street photography, personal narratives drawn from everyday objects, dream-like worlds, traces of stories to be found in the urban landscape and the stories embedded in wild landscapes. The selected work conjures intense feelings and ideas from the everyday things often overlooked but that can now be seen as those bones of stories.
