Private View… More Progress

Oxford House Exhibition Video Shoot
July 13, 2016
For the last two days I have been at Oxford House in Bethnal Green working with a group based there. The idea was to shoot some video footage of members of the group talking about their views on the social issues raised by Charles Booth’s survey – but in the modern context. The final version […]
