My Severn Exhibition – Stroud Station

An exhibition of mindful photography opened on 15th November 2021 at three railway stations on Gloucestershire’s rail network. Gloucester, Stroud and Stonehouse stations now feature a display of stunning images which capture the history, wildlife and healing benefits of being by the river. Rail travellers, whether they be frazzled commuters, or tourists out to see the sights, will encounter images that encourage them to pause and take a new perspective on the world around them.

The photography featured in this new community exhibition was created by local Gloucestershire residents who took part in a series of mindful photography courses, run by Look Again. The sessions took place between lockdowns last summer and autumn, and enabled the artists to connect with nature in a powerful and thought-provoking way. They experienced a new way to boost mental health and wellbeing, using photography to bring clarity and presence in the moment.
