This publication showcases the amazing work from two years of the Station to Station project, made by students of the BA and MA Documentary Photography courses at USW.
Mentored by Gareth Phillips and Janire Najera, photographers head out into the south Wales valleys for three intensive days of photography, travelling by train. They work with communities and individuals to tell their stories while a team works in Cardiff editing and sequencing the work that is submitted each day. The result is this project.
‘Station to Station’ is a nod to both David Bowie and his song of the same name, but also to the remarkable history of social engagement of our course after nearly 50 years of teaching Documentary Photography in south Wales, firstly in Newport and now in Cardiff.
Huge thanks to Transport for Wales for supporting Station to Station edition #1. Keep your eyes peeled for the second edition: 2023. Heading down the track very soon!
