Tara Rutledge at Langar Aid House

Tara is a Coventry based curator and community engaged visual artist, who is inspired by the architecture of her home town, its historical connections and, most importantly, the people who inhabit it.

For this Artist On My Street Project, Tara is curating the work of local photographer John Whitmore (1977-2021). John was inspired by ever changing environments and how humans impact them, and each other. John favoured a completely analogue photographic process, which he felt helped maintain a very tangible connection between the time and place a photo was captured, and the final print.

This exhibition at Langar Aid in Spon End – highlighting John’s KEEP OUT project, which captured the regeneration of Coventry City Centre during the run up to our City of Culture year – will celebrate John’s work and introduce it to a new audience.
