As part of Mayfest 2024, Kitchen Table Photo Club (KTPC) set out on a residency at Nightingale Valley. Over four weeks, kids, adults, parents & artists collaborated on playing, creating and imagining. What emerged were poetic, playful images and art, hand-drawn maps and stories reflecting the mystical energy of Nightingale Valley, an ancient woodland in St Anne’s, Bristol.

Led by Esther, the kids explored the woods, with contributions from guest artists, academics, and community members, who merged with the valley’s landscapes to create something truly transformative.

From December 5th -13th 2024 378,432,000,000 Seconds of Exposure, showed at St Anne’s House, Bricks and included a gallery, interative art, a collaborative photo collage, workshop and one-off show, ‘Hypnagogia for Holocene’, a long-form lullaby of foraged sounds and poems from sound artist and KTPC special guest t l k.
